Want to hear more about this. I’ve saved up a decent chunk of change that should allow me to live off about $160k/year at least till I’m 105. Yet, I continue to work because I think I need more. I’m 52 but I’m seriously considering just calling it a day. I still have two kids at home as a senior in high school and one starting her freshman year in September.
Time is precious.
Work if you have to.
If you do not have to work, enjoy life.

Freeze will be looking for a job unless he starts winning and competing with the best soon.
Of course, so will any of these coaches in SEC.

They lost.
What is he even thinking?
Game is over.
Jog to dugout.
Get a shower.
Go home.
Umps need to get control of this type of behavior early in SEC tournament. Send a message.

Get some used US kids clubs.
He probably only needs 4 to 6 clubs total with putter.

I was told I would miss work.
I do not.
I enjoy leisure.
I help a bit more with household stuff.
I’m not depressed or angry as much.
It’s nice to just know I don’t have to deal with nonsense at work.
I don’t miss commuting.

I’ve done a study. IF I take a golf ball out of the sleeve, it has a strong desire to go swimming or get lost. IF I coax the new ball to the green, it will develop and extreme fear of heights as it rests on the lip.
Lost Golf balls I find seem to perform better. With a scuff or two from the cart path resting in high grass, or some spa time submerged in a pond or creek, they overcome their fear of success; until they make a birdie.

Rory has won there 4 times (2010, 2015, 2021, 2024). Finished Top 10 in 9 out of 13 tournaments there. Holds the course record (61 in 2015). Other players who have historically played well there: Xander, JT, Justin Rose, Homa, Phil, Fowler, Bryson, Reed
The course seems to suit Rory.
Personally, I’d like to see Justin Rose win. Or Bryson.
Bryson and Rory really pound the ball off the tee. At the Masters, Bryson’s irons were not dialed in. Let’s see if he improved.
re: Worst beatdown you have ever seen your team take?

That’s the least amount of fight I’ve seen from an Auburn team in that game.
That season was the only time I felt like the team just flat quit. Except for Mason, Wallace and a few others.
After we lost to LSU, it just laid down.
I do not demand to win every game, but I do expect to see an effort to compete each week.
Sometimes you compete and win. Sometimes you compete and lose.
The 2012 team just gave up at some point. Inexcusable.

I watched every second of Texas A&M killing us in 2012.
Georgia literally called off the dogs that year.
It was 38-0, but could have been 100-0.
That team quit.
I sat through all of it as a season ticket holder.

Berkshire will pay cash dividends and will at some point have a massive stock split but all that will be years from now.
They did the B shares to sort of allow smaller investors a chance and keep the institutional funds from offering instruments that are a piece of Berkshire A.
I could see a “special” dividend, but I don’t think they will become a dividend stock.
If they think Brk.A or B are undervalued. They will do massive buybacks. The special dividend would allow some flexibility when stock price is overvalued.
