I had a great time with Drew out in the course today. With winter golf around the corner, it’s time to encourage Drew to try different shots and learn more about what’s possible with his clubs.

I’m heading out for 13 holes of golf with my youngest shortly. I love that our golf club’s course allows you to play 5 holes, 13 holes, or a full round. We’ll mostly play 13 holes over the winter until the weather improves.

I’ve seen many posts about people cancelling their Washington Post subscriptions, but I wonder if cancelling your Amazon Prime is the way to go?

The best thing those readers can do is cancel their $139 annual Prime subscriptions, if they have them, and invest that money in the journalism they say they want and need.

Don’t Cancel The Washington Post. Cancel Amazon Prime.

I like The Atlantic’s point about hitting Bezos where it matters: Amazon Prime subscriptions. Newspaper subscriptions allow for more independent journalism; we shouldn’t deprive ourselves of that.

I can’t decide whether Astropad’s Bookcase is a beneficial device or not. Yes, I’d like to read more, but not necessarily from my phone. That’s why I read from my Kindle. If you limit your device count to just the essentials, e.g., no Kindle, the Bookcase would be a good buy.

It’s an excellent start to the day when you’ve added a few new RSS feeds to your feed reader over a morning brew. It’s been a while since I’ve subscribed to anything new.

Watching the final seconds of the Packers game via the Apple Sports app is not good for my stress levels. The field goal was good though. A much needed win for the Packers!

An iPhone displays the final score of a football game with the Packers defeating the Texans 24-22, along with game stats and betting odds.

The winds are picking up now for Storm Ashley. Had I known the winds were only going to pick up now, I would have probably taken Drew out for a few holes of golf this afternoon, but the storm warning has been in place since this morning. Oh well.

I’m using an old iPad I inherited as a secondary screen for my MacBook. I’m very impressed with the setup. I can see myself using this setup a lot.
