Like a feather on a pond
A couple of weeks ago, I was discussing the John Carpenter masterpiece, Big Trouble in Little China. Even typing these words, I can feel the rolling eyes of my wife as she respects me a little less. What can I say? It excels on multiple levels.
As a small homage to the protagonist, played by Kurt Russell, I wrote a golf story best read aloud in your best Jack Burton voice. Let me know what you think.

How are things with you? Family well?
My youngest just finished achieving the Memory Master award in our homeschool curriculum. I’m amazed at how much youth can pack into their RAM.
On a work trip recently, I played a beautiful course in TN called Spring Creek Ranch. Usually, Nicklaus designs aren’t my favorite, but the use of movement and rhythm in the layout was like paddle boarding a winding river.
Seen, heard, or read anything interesting? Anything you’re digging right now?
You probably remember how much of an Amor Towles fan I am.
- A Gentleman in Moscow is a limited series on Paramount+. It is of course adapted for the screen, but so far I like it!
- Amor’s new collection of short stories, A Table for Two, is out. While some I’d read before, the new ones are delightful.
- I loved this Amor interview with David Perell. You can learn so much about excellence from folks who are at the top of their craft.
Been great catching up.
Talk soon,
David
