I haven't been writing since graduation, so it's been about a month and a half of drought. This is not wise because I have an upcoming job as a newspaper editor at Alma, because writing helps me process my thoughts, and because I enjoy writing.
I will set a more reasonable goal for this blog, unlike my past goal of Animal of the Day on my Geronimo blog. It was too hard to write a quality post about a new animal each day. Even Anti Fear List Thursday won't be a regular post on this new blog. I will be writing my anti fears in a more personal journal now. The list was largely composed of inside jokes and personal memories, not well suited for a blog post.
My goal is to post once a week. I don't want to structure what I post about, for I don't know what will be driving me most passionately from week to week, and I love many subjects. That is why this blog is called Honey in the Golf Ball at theonlyinterestingthingaboutgolf.blogspot.com (I'm sorry to offend golfers, this is just my personal opinion.)
A few hours ago at dear Hannah Cremin's open house, I got to know the well known Mr. Taylor, teacher at West Ottawa High School. We spoke of a well known former teacher at West Ottawa High School, Mr. Cutter, and Taylor mentioned that he bought Cutter a golf ball at St. Andrews, most ancient of golf courses. In response I asked, "Didn't they used to put honey in the center of golf balls?" Taylor had never heard of such golf ball production, and I failed to have any ethos or additional explanation to my question.
Modern technology came to our aid, however, as Taylor confirmed via his smart phone that golf balls were indeed made with honey at the center in the past (Honey does not spoil and has the proper features for golf ball centers, or something along those lines.) This is a piece of random knowledge I have, and this story reflects my approach to education. I want to know a wide variety of things, but only end up retaining partial detail and information.
I hope this blog will help me mend that flaw, not retaining a firm knowledge of subjects. It is said that writing things down can aid one's memory. I hope that, in writing a mixed jubilee on this blog, I will seed more deeply into my brain, the things that I learn. I want the vision that was planted in my brain, to still remain (shout out to my boyz Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.)
As a side effect, maybe people will read these posts. Maybe these people will learn things. Maybe these people will correct me. Maybe people will teach me even more things to seed in my brain.
Ps: I already regret the URL of this blog, I don't know much about golf and it is likely very interesting.
