Dedicated to the premise that life would be better if we all took ourselves a little less seriously.

On to Happier Things
Fifty-six years ago today, in an idyllic little church in a postcard Massachusetts small town, my parents got married. This song was the top of the charts on that day:
Happy Father’s Day gents. On my way to St Augustine for a couple days so my wife can continue her oath toward being a sommelier and the kid and I can hang out.
i'm gutted for me, danimal. i had matsuyama, shauffele, and aberg in a top 10 parlay that would've bought daddy a new pair of shoes, and aberg bogeyed 17 to fall out of the top 10 by one stroke. bad beat. fucking swedes.
lucky for you, less so for me, i've been through this process with usaa within the past month. basically, they're going to offer you what they've appraised your car as being worth. if you want to keep the car and repair it yourself, you can, but they won't give you any money. in my case, it would've cost $4k to repair the car and the car was worth $5600 after deductible (by their assessment), and because the repair cost was more than 70% of the value of the car, they deemed it totalled and offered me the money. had i not taken the $5600, they would've given me the repair cost but would not have insured the car any longer. i took the money and am seeking a beater for my kid to bounce off of things in the city for less than $5600.
Belated Happy Dad’s Day y’all! My parents married 60 years last week! And I’m in NYC and got in to see Late Show with Stephen Colbert taped for tonight — 3rd row left! Trombone Shorty guest with band. WOW he and they are AMAZING! Show was terrifically fun. Airs at 11:30.
dechambeau is kind of a dork, no?
ReplyDeleteHere’s to the events that made Robbie a possibility. Cheers to the Russell/Robinson merger.

ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day to all who celebrate.
ReplyDeleteHFD, daddyos
ReplyDeleteHope you’re enjoying a good one, men.
ReplyDeleteLet’s hope Rory keeps his head on straight thru these last few holes.
this is some nerve-wracking shit. i don’t know that i’d be able to pull the club back in these circumstances.
ReplyDeletethat was a sick bunker shot from dechambeau, unfortunately
ReplyDeleteyou miss two putts inside four feet in the last four holes, you probably don't deserve to win the u.s. open. bummer.
ReplyDeleteJust gutted for Rory. I don’t get it.

ReplyDeleteRob thought his ship had come in, but alas, it hit a berg.
ReplyDeletegolf clap
ReplyDeletedagger, rob. was that a bet you made prior to the tournament start or after?
ReplyDeleteprior to the tournament
ReplyDeletedamn....that really did hurt. i am sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeletethanks, danimal. i'd already spent that $63 in my mind. the shoes were gonna be vans.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of money people don’t have, USAA just let me know via text:
ReplyDeleteWe're unable to repair your vehicle. We're calculating the value to provide a settlement offer soon.
Goldie is dead. Long live Goldie.
viva goldie!
ReplyDeleteShe was great in Sin City.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I’m calling El Reynoldo again. A confluence of significant expenses has me asking him if he has any soapbox derby entries.
ReplyDeleteI don’t even quite understand what a settlement offer is or how this works. Anyone privy to inner workings, please lend advice.

ReplyDeletei shouldn't say that won't give you any money. they won't give you full replacement value if you choose to keep the car and repair it yourself.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Dad’s Day y’all!
