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
