Father's Day

Well, today was Father's Day AND my mom's senior citizen (haha) bday! I went out to spend the day with the old man! We played some golf, with the word "played" being used very loosely! Let's just say we probably would have both shot over 100 if we didn't have about 10 mulligans!

Today was my exception to my $10/day budget, as it was a holiday. During the day, with budget in mind, I thought about how many times my parents were probably in the financial situation I'm in now, in order to provide me with the life I've had. It got me thinking about how grateful I am, that someone else would put their own wants second to mine and how good it made me feel to give back to my dad today with something as simple as golf and dinner, and most of all, the time we got to spend together. My relationship with him hasn't ever been an emotional, heartfelt display of affection, but we both know that just spending the time together and sucking at golf is more than we simpletons could ever ask for. Sure, we wouldn't mind being able to afford to jet off to Scotland to suck at golf, but the balls are probably more expensive there and the current state of his putting game would not be compatible with those greens! ;) Love ya dad!

So today, the money I spent has only a memorable value! Happy Father's Day!

Oh and happy birthday mom! Hopefully you won big in vegas!
