I only read a few of the early entries here, but I plan on coming back and reading more. I also plan on telling my CC members about this thread. But part of the deal is to be honest, and tell a bit about oneself, so here goes:
I play this game all I can justify to my conscience. Which is about two or three single plays and a couple of Alt-Shot games per day. I love it. It's a real challenge to improve and I am improving.
I am a commercial fisherman in Alaska. Semi-retired. I am 63 but make enough to avoid taking my social security. This year I fished about 2 months. I fish for King and Coho salmon mostly. Trolling. With hook and line.
I am married for the second time. No children. Both a blessing and regret. My first car was a 1960 Plymouth Valiant I paid 50 dollars for in 1973. It used almost as much oil as it did gasoline. I started buying 50 weight recycled oil to keep it going, and eventually, the transmission quit working in first gear, so I drove it in second gear to a wrecking yard which paid me $35 dollars for it.
I live on my fishing boat in Craig, Alaska. Grew up in Seattle during the beginnings of the drug infusion. Many of my friends from school have already died of drug overdoses or from Hepatitis C. I avoided that one, but did pay the piper with a strange version of Hepatitis A or B.....I forget which.
I never got hooked on any severely addictive drugs like heroin or alcohol, but instead enjoyed weed so much I could ignore the dangerous ones. I took way more LSD than I should have, but it didn't harm me I guess.
Recently, I voted in favor of legalizing marijuana in Alaska. It passed 52% to 48%. Last year I visited Colorado and legally bought some New York City Diesel marijuana of the Sativa variety. Very nice. And especially nice to be able to partake of a substance legally that is far safer and less toxic than my legal alternatives such as beer or wine.
My hat is off to anyone who is high on life. Good for you. I avoid using weed before or while I am playing WGT golf. My play suffers noticeably and lose more balls. Though with practice I can adjust my game and play well while stoned, it takes an enormous amount of concentration to play well while high, so I don't bother. I just play in the mornings after I wake up and am sober.
After I read a few more of these entries, I may add to this post. Anyways....it is nice to meet you all. I look forward to reading more entries soon, and hope to play with or against some of you in the future.
