Sunday Morning Coming Down

John’s daughter got engaged and he couldn’t be more thrilled. He was also part of "The Bloodbath in Benson"—otherwise known as a +14 scramble score, which will one day be made into a sports documentary. 

John’s dog is building his own life in the outside world. The best Sunday Fundays are with Red Cooler Ronnie, even if they happen on Saturday. Plus, a little wisdom from a financial planner, bumper sticker, and a sign. 

John is living lake life on his newly refurbished pontoon military base. He’s figuring out how to be a captain, but isn’t sure happiness is something that can easily be ticked off the box

John has trouble communicating with his server, shares wisdom from his dad’s 80th birthday, and reminds us not to chase the night.  

John shares wisdom from both his summer interns, and his father as he prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday. He reminds us all to run for the roses as fast as you can. 

After not helping Stacey move the topsoil, John’s punishment is to be in charge for a few hours. Also, he’s enjoying walking to Wisconsin and back and scoring goals. 

John shares some wisdom waiting for his flight out of North Carolina, where he experienced the soccer lifestyle at the TST tournament. He also may be responsible for his wife hurting her back lifting topsoil. 

John takes inspiration from a commencement address, reminds us bikers are dorks, and works to be more creative and have less boxes in his life. 

John wonders if commune living is better than regular living. He also talks about golf enough to make you stop listening to this week’s episode, but that’s what happens when he plays decent. Deal with it.  

John participates in a roast, wonders if weddings should adopt the MLB time clock, and has an enlightening chat with a buddy who tried a progressive form of therapy to open his eyes (while blindfolded). 

John gets wisdom from a lifelong financial advisor, heads to a getaway game at Target Field, and reminds us of the majesty of pickle roll ups.  

John helps the community learn not to dribble, wonders about the invisible string theory, and wishes we all could be “playoff guys” in the game of life. 

John celebrates his birthday at a wedding, watches someone else break-in his grill, and wonders if finally getting a pair of waders will make him a man.  

John is doing a lot of travel, and while it’s wearing him down, he’s able to both get his name on a sign and pick up some valuable wisdom from a client. “Create Memories,” because it’s what your kids will live by. 

John goes to a Wild game with the Overtime Hype Man, gets another parking ticket, and prepares for the change of the season most notably taking the hard top off the Jeep. 

John’s wife remains convinced she’s clairvoyant. A great Spring Break in Palm Desert has John contemplating why men like playing catch in swimming pools, and how to properly put on cologne. 

John is on Spring Break and finds wisdom from the Vikings new quarterback while on the golf course. He lays down some rules for tuck-ins and celebrates the virtue of a setlist with integrity.  

John planned the drink and drank the plan on St. Patrick’s Day. While he may be “sickly,” he is married to a (good) witch. He also longs for more Tuck-Ins and crispy cardboard pulltabs that pop how they used to. 

John is reconnecting to his faith . . .at fish frys around town. He finds some Zen with Red Cooler Ronnie while playing golf in shorts, in March, in Minnesota. Also, tying a jacket around your waist sucks. 

John is in his basement evaluating the best flow at the tourney, but he still had time to grab some wisdom from Adam Sandler and a former co-worker. He’s also happy he has an old boat, not a new one. 

John reboots his family jockey trip with his brothers and dad heading down to Gulfstream Park in Florida. Along the way he’s reminded that rituals might just be the best way to take care of family and a few close friends. 

John’s been on the road and has some travel stories including too many giant down escalators. He reminds us to spend time with the people who matters most and prefers real golf to the simulator. 

John is reminded to stop and smell the roses from a buddy ten years older, has to rethink his Super Bowl food strategy, and contemplates starting a global TV Tray enterprise. 

It’s birthday week (or month) down in Florida. John has found a new country artist, is appreciating signature scents, and had found a golf course that can break him (another one). And he’s gearing up the hot dog roller for a 3-Meat 3-Peat at the annual Super Bowl party. 

John nearly loses his phone and takes a trip to Sauna Town. Along the way he learns the life lesson of taking the good where you can, making your own Spring Break, and remembering to say yes.
