Weekly Round Up- Golf Edition

Yesterday I found myself on the golf course for the first time of the season.  The weather couldn’t have been better; sunny and mid-60’s all day.  The best part was that I actually played pretty good.  What’s pretty good for me?  Pretty good is only losing two balls the whole day.   My short game still needs a whole lot of work, but at least my driver didn’t cause me the usual frustrations that it usually does.

New Site Launched

My buddy Pinyo of Moolanomy blog fame has launched a new project he calls “Great Nexus.” This site pulls together a diverse assortment of news and blog resources on a variety of topics, including personal finance. I recommend that you give it a test drive.
