When his looooooooong unexpected par putt dropped in, HappyUP!!!! ...and it made me go, "ya know....if I could coax in this birdie putt, my nephew who has a shorter birdie putt then I, will have no defense.

Why it happened -made 4 double bogeys
Why it makes me happy -in our game, you can play crappy and still get a win. The requirements? There can be several. One is, if you have to make doubles, you make them at the right time.

HappyUP!!! -VillaSport Invite

Sooooo many quality plays...the near hole out on 14 after literally being in the weeds is testament to me staying in the moment...staying on it during adversity. LOVE THAT

HappyUP!!! - BLT
Why it happened -it's the season
Why it makes me happy -yeah...I dunno...I can only say this. When you grab that garden tomato for a BLT...the game is changed! I am in FULL BLT season!

HappyUP!!! -a friend getting help
Why it happened -I reached out

HappyUP!!! Day 4852

HappyUP!!! - golf fill in
Why it happened -there was a no show
Why it makes me happy -put myself in best mental frame I could without any warm up....but...was just a disaster....DISASTER on the front 9. Something clicked on the 7th hole...it failed to save my 9. But, on the back, there was a mysterious confidence that came upon me. I hit 8 or the 9 greens (never do that) and shot even par...which is the WORST it could have been. 13 shots different from one side of the course to the other.

HappyUP!!! - family time
Why it happened -I got a call

HappyUP!!! - Phil's tunes
Why it happened -technology
Why it makes me happy -that is some CLASSIC Phil!!! Perked me up

HappyUP!!! -winning in numbers

HappyUP!!! - salmon
Why it happened -I wanted brekky
Why it makes me happy - some people won't eat this for breakfast...and I say, "who made up that rule?" People are funny about brekky foods for brekky but not for dinner and vice versa. Not me. Great protein start to day

HappyUP!!! - chats
Why it happened -I got calls
Why it makes me happy -my chat with Dom was epic. One of the best chats I have ever had with the double N.  These were both educational and enriching...and why we live

Why it happened -it floated into my email
Why it makes me happy -man...I gotta work on focus sometimes....YET...while not a big Pearl Jam fan...the composition of this tune (which is not in my genre or age range) has some magic. Nope...not nailed...yet...but...it was worth the distraction today. Fun texts with my buddies.

HappyUP!!! - grocery run in the heat
Why it happened -I bucked up

Why it makes me happy -all of the stuff was important...some "on the edge"...glad to push the agenda forward

HappyUP!!! - a new kitty

HappyUP!!! Day 4848

HappyUP!!! - wedge on 1...putt on 18
Why it happened -some skills showed up
Why it makes me happy -another tough day...hey...at least it started and ended well. And....

Why it happened -the left pushed it
Why it makes me happy -it all comes to an end and people can get on with their lives. Sure, the people that pushed this strange investigation are probably going to get their comeuppance but they aren't in power anymore...do what you want with them. It's OVER...finally!

HappyUP!!! Day 4847

HappyUP!!! - Educational Minute/Speeches
Why it happened -new members amaze me

HappyUP!!! Day 4846

HappyUP!!! -commute
Why it happened -I had a client in Sac
Why it makes me happy -I don't do commutes...never have...so, yeah, the thought of one brings me a bit of anxiety. No, I don't freak out about traffic. It is just a huge waste of time. Because of when I went, it was as smooth as could be

HappyUP!!! - perfect timing
Why it happened -lucky
Why it makes me happy -I wasn't there for anytime at all and immediately brought value...I am talking about the first minute and the first half hour. Nice to start that way. Great examples just delivered to us

HappyUP!!! -interviewing
Why it happened -I was asked to consult
Why it makes me happy - I have to say that I was a bit nervous. It's been over a decade since I interviewed anyone. I think I was probably better today than back in the day!

HappyUP!!! - great post round chat
Why it happened -we do that
Why it makes me happy -I like great conversations

HappyUP!!! -best round in months
Why it happened - see the above...and something else
Why it makes me happy -it's really a rhythm thing. It wasn't a great ball striking day...but I got some other things working a bit. Left a LOT out there on the course. A much needed good round

HappyUP!!! -pitch in on 9
Why it happened -skills
Why it makes me happy - this was just a perfectly lobbed 60 degree wedge. It looked good....until it started looking great....and then it disappeared. I quickly looked over at my opponent...it's the 9th hole where you are trying to get a little something back...and I watched all the air deflate. I was on the other end of that the day before on this hole.  It feels WAAAAAY better to be the deflator than the deflatee.
