Leaving School: Lord, Please Protect Luke and Joe
http://leavingschool2010.blogspot.com/2010/06/lord-please-protect-luke-and-joe.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Lord, Please Protect Luke and Joe. With big blue eyes and a shock of blond hair, he looked just like Dennis the Menace. In one of my favorite photos, Luke is four or five years old, shoeless, and dressed in a cute little yellow outfit. You can almost see the dichotomy between the faint halo over his head and the mischievous squint in his eyes. He was all boy! Before he could ever walk or run, we sat in the floor and rolled a ball back and forth. In the past nine years, tens of t...

Leaving School: Reflections on My First Retirement Paycheck
http://leavingschool2010.blogspot.com/2010/06/reflections-on-my-first-retirement.html
Thursday, June 17, 2010. Reflections on My First Retirement Paycheck. As I opened the envelope and peered at my first paycheck, I discovered three important items. First: The paycheck print is HUGE. Lest I become too excited about this retirement check, I discovered one final thing when I opened the envelope and looked at my first retirement check today. Third: I found a thorny warning typed in the same large print at the bottom of the check:. If payee is deceased return check to TRS. If you do decide to...

Leaving School: Enjoying a Slow Round of Golf
http://leavingschool2010.blogspot.com/2010/06/enjoying-slow-round-of-golf.html
Saturday, June 19, 2010. Enjoying a Slow Round of Golf. When David pulled out his driver and hit the ball over 200 yards straight down the fairway, I knew something was strange. How could someone hit a golf ball like that after a decade’s absence from golf? We let one group pass us since we were so slow. And then another group. And then a third group. David quietly turned to me and said, “Sometimes I get mixed up. I have Alzheimer’s. That’s why I retired.”. After another hole, I realized that David wasn&...

Leaving School: Toccoa Riverside Restaurant
http://leavingschool2010.blogspot.com/2012/04/toccoa-riverside-restaurant.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Photo of Night the Restaurant Burned. That seems like such a long time ago. Today the restaurant's foundation is covered in ruins. . . a bottle here, a glass there, chairs stacked along the riverbank, garbage cans behind a screen, large timbers down the hill, and the naked concrete block foundation. The smell of smoke permeates the air two months after the restaurant burned. I saw daffodils blooming at river's edge. I saw a bright yellow chair sticking out among the ruins. Yes, ...

Leaving School: September 2010
http://leavingschool2010.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. It's Just a Muni Course! Recently when I mentioned the golf courses I play frequently, several people responded with disdain, "Oh, that's a muni course! To only the late afternoons. Municipal courses may have wilting greens, fading flags, and cracking cart paths, but the friendly people who treasure the opportunity to enjoy a few hours of golf more than make up for the few problems I see on the course. Links to this post. Here's my beautiful aunt who visited Cloudland Canyon...
