This is my great great grandfather, after whom I am named, his wife, 6 children, son in law, and granddaughter. He didn’t wait until he could afford children. I had 6 kids when I was broke. Get married and have a bigger family than you can afford. It’s a blessing beyond measure.

Leadership lesson of the day: Manhood. Young gentlemen, I just found out this was a thing. It must be addressed. Your function as a man is to pay and drive. Always. First date or 60 years married. Opening the car door for her is an added bonus, but does not replace paying.

Leadership lesson of the day: Caring. I attended a conference yesterday where Nick Saban spoke. One line stuck out. “Nobody cares what you know until they know that you care.” The world is full of brilliant narcissists. Alas, many become leaders. Reject them. Care matters most.

We can call it New Right if we wish, but this is what Teddy Roosevelt articulated at the turn of the 20th century, what Eisenhower warned about in his exit speech, and what Reagan saw with the breakup of telecom. True then, true now.

Never heard of Willow Church Community Church until today. Lee Strobel, whom I've read a lot and I have another of his books next on my nightstand, spoke today, so I watched. It was outstanding. I'll be keeping up. willowcreek.org

Holy smokes. Different game, I know, but, wow.

My fraternity house was right across the street. This was not how the 1981 KD's invited you over.

Listening to Julia Johnson and Emilia Migliaccio Doran on course at Bandon Dunes for the U.S. Women’s Amateur and realizing that I don’t hear them nearly often enough. Great talent Golf Channel.

I met Sudha and Hari Ganne four years ago when their daughter Megha was 17. Wonderful people. What you see here are the fruits of great parenting of a talented child. Root for this player and this family in the future.
