A Television, A Beer, and a Sunday Golf Tournament—Relaxation at its Finest

The crowd grows quiet. The player addresses the ball. A couple of back swings that stop centimeters short of making contact with the ball. The player adjusts his stance. A couple more faux back swings. Here it comes… Beautiful form… The club comes down and a resounding ping is heard as it makes contact with the ball. The little ball rises high in the air; up…up…up… Where the hell is the ball?!

A True Golf Aficionado’s Dream Come True

The Vail Golf Tournament is more likely to be replaced by the big screen TV, the beer and relaxation at its finest coupled with NFL Game Day in my house. But each to his own. I can appreciate a great golf tournament however. It’s those 7 seconds of sky where they tend to lose me. On the other hand, the putting is so nerve wracking that I practically tear my hair out trying to will that ball into the hole. And I stand to win absolutely nothing if it does perchance go in. Nonetheless, it is fun to watch people who truly know what they’re doing out there on the golf course.

Just Enough To Be Dangerous

That’s how much I know about golf… Just enough to yell at the guy for slicing it or hooking it (though I can never remember which way is which); and certainly enough to utter a resounding “OOOOOHH” when the ball loops around the edge of the hole without actually going in. I have to give the golfers a lot of credit. That would be the time when my patience would be at its very wit’s end and some putter would end up in someone’s head… Most likely, my caddy’s.

I probably get that from my mother. She was a huge fan of golf, right up until she had to putt.

The Selfish Bastard On The Move

Looking Out For Number One

Assuming the ‘number one’ is yourself and that you are a Colorado individual that does not belong to the 7.8% of the population that is unemployed; you probably have insurance through your employer—but not necessarily.

Times They Are A Changin’

Health insurance plans for individuals and families used to be offered by nearly every employer; it’s just the way things were. Thanks to the current state of economy however many companies have opted out of insuring their employees. If you are employed but need to purchase your own Health Insurance it’s time to look into some of the insurance companies offering discounted plans which they refer to as ‘affordable Health Care plans’ for individuals and families. It only makes sense since offering nothing but high priced insurance plans was discouraging many people from getting Health Insurance at all. So we had lots of people running around with no insurance and insurance companies with no customers. By lowering the cost of insurance more people now sign up so they are insured and the insurance company once again is making money. Fortunately for us and unfortunately for the insurance companies however; Obama-care has made it nearly impossible for those companies to turn down anyone with pre existing conditions. That’s good news for people that have those conditions.

If You Lost Your Job

If you are one of the unlucky 7.8% of unemployed individuals in Colorado (or anywhere else for that matter), hopefully you are receiving unemployment and some form of Health Insurance such as Cobra. You still have to pay for Cobra, but it is usually less expensive than purchasing your own individual Health Care plan. It however, as with unemployment, eventually runs out. Don’t wait until the last minute to check out discounted insurance plans. This is where looking out for number one comes in. If you don’t look out for yourself no one else will… They’re too busy trying to find their own insurance plan!

Open up your laptop and do a search for affordable Health Insurance plans. And don’t be surprised when you’re bombarded with offers from insurance plans you never even knew existed. Once it’s out there that you’re looking for personal insurance, there will be no shortage of plans being offered you.

Don’t Let Hair Loss Get You Down

The reason for this is because sometimes when people go to the doctor they forget everything they were going to ask because they are extremely anxious or even embarrassed. A list will help you stay focused and get all of your questions answered.

Changing Your Diet

You should let your doctor know what you are eating so that he or she will be able to determine if your diet is playing a part in to your hair loss. The more information you can give your doctor the better when it comes to your diet. Anything you are eating that isn’t on your list of foods to improve your diet should be thrown away so you can resist temptation. Temptation while on a special diet can be your own worst enemy. You want to try to secure diet is best that you can so you are not risking any more hair loss.

Snaring the One That Got Away

Almost everyone that has loved and lost has one person in their life that got away. It is not impossible to get your ex back if that is the main objective. The longer you wait the harder it will be to get your ex back.

Take the Time to Think

Many people never take the time to think about why it did not work out with the ex. Many people feel spurned or hurt and immediately run back to the ex or to someone else for affection. Looking inward should always be the first step after a break up. Identifying why the breakup really happened is the first step in a positive direction.

Make the Perfect Plan

Make a plan to right the wrongs of the past, figure out a way to make good with your ex and start from a clean slate. The best thing to do is to take the time and decide if this is something, you are truly ready to pursue.

The Selfish Bastard’s Favorite Costumes for Adults

If you’re going to be a selfish bastard then just go ahead and be one; then shut up about it. You’re going to need a few staple items for the Selfish Bastard’s favorite costumes for adults.

Money, Money, Money; It’s A Rich Man’s World

And that’s what you are going to need plenty of; money. Assuming that even though you have wads of it just lying around the house you don’t want to utilize your real money with your costume, you’re going to have to buy a lot of play money; both paper and coins. Make sure that you throw plenty of it around, that it’s coming out of every possible pocket and orifice. And a big fat stogie. Not that any bars allow smoking anymore, so you can get a fake one if you want.

Now… What To Wear

Daddy Warbucks comes to mind (bald head, tuxedo, bow tie, pocket watch with a chain), or a millionaire fresh off of his yacht with his captain’s jacket and cap (don’t forget the ascot); above all else don’t forget to complete your outfit all the way down to the shoes. And if neither of these appeals to you, fear not.

You can always get a really bad wig and go as Donald Trump...“You’re Fired!”

Snagging Seats for the Triple Crown

You won’t need to worry about snagging seats for the Triple Crown if there isn’t one officially won. The Kentucky Derby is only the first stop in the race for the Triple Crown. Win that and you must next win both the Preakness and Belmont Stakes in order to achieve the heralded title of Triple Crown Winner.

If You Use History To Make Your Bets…

Some people take a look at winning trainers, others look at winning jockeys; others still look at things like favorite colors and numbers. All the past history of winners, trainers and jockey’s is available if you search Kentucky Derby online you will find more than enough info to help you place your Kentucky Derby bets. Everyone has their own system or beliefs behind how and why they place their bets in the manner that they do. A quick and easy place to look up history on any of the above mentioned races is Wikipedia. There you’ll find history, origin, statistics, records made/broken and more.

Triple Crowns Past
Since the year 1919 only 11 horses have been good enough and have hung in there long enough to achieve the Triple Crown; the last of those being the way back in 1978 when teenager Steve Cauthen won aboard Affirmed there is a wiki devoted to both the jockey and the horse. Barbaro was favored to be a major contender for the elusive Triple Crown and instead ended up breaking the hearts of horse racing and animal lovers throughout the world with his untimely death.
To avoid confusion, all three races mentioned above officially make up the Triple Crown. You cannot have a Triple Crown Winner however, unless the same horse wins all three.
