Projected VS. Actual


If this were a boxing match

I’d bet on the underdog

Sounds simple,

But it’s not Rocky.

Numbers on the page

Don’t come with emotions

Emotions are a human condition

This also isn’t,

(When Harry Met Sally.)

With all sorts of ramifications attached

See the spreadsheet and calm down.

Repeat after me. We are fine.

Take a deep breath

Think of a lazy river with an appropriate drink in hand

Then Imagine you are speaking with a Banker

His name is Jeff

Banker Jeff thinks you are a business that wants to grow.

So he sends you email after email because any normal business wants to show profits. Of course, you will need to invest in something.

Only you don’t.  You are a Ladies Golf Group, and you just want to have fun. You are not into paying taxes and filing forms. Let the kids do that. You are officially done.

WE DON’T HAVE PROFITS.  

We are the New Year’s Baby. Screaming, naked, and unafraid. 

We’ve been hanging on to a jackpot that is as old as Miriam. No one who originally contributed is even alive, well, maybe a few women who no longer golf. 

The point is you’ve inherited some money, and it is time to spend it.

So do what any lucky group that just won the prize would do.

Spend it. Make it equitable. Have a party. Get creative. Ask Kevin to find you something special for your game. Do whatever you want and enjoy. 

The time of division has ended. 

We are the S.L.L.G.A.

We are one.  Doesn’t this make you giddy?

Signed with a big amen,

Your Treasurer
