I just refuse to be stressed. I had enough of that in my job. This is the time for me to chill and enjoy what God has in store for me. I have my health and a wonderful spouse and family. I live in the best place in the world, for me. I'm not going to let a slow golfer or a bad waiter or slow service or poop in the park or people from Stonecrest driving their carts on the multi-modal trails upset me. Chill and enjoy the remainder of your life. These are the good (golden?) days/years. Don't ruin them for me or you. Not that you would. Just saying in general.

In other words BE HAPPY-DON'T WORRY.

Couldn't agree more. Guess we've been fortunate during our annual, weekly visits over the past 6 years. We have been paired with some really nice folks and haven't been with any excessively slow players. But, on one occasion, while playing Lopez, the Ambassador asked us to pick up play. Do they not do that any longer?
