I’ve been wondering. Are there any micronauts in the Kansas City area? I’d like to connect and maybe we could do a meetup someday if that is still a cool thing to do.

I love micro.blog because of the international flare. I love to travel and when I can’t this is so wonderful to experience and see.

Something I want to try.

During the cold winter months I like to think about the past season of golf and travel.

My steady playing partner for golf is my wife and I really enjoy playing with her. She is really good - my steady Eddie I call her off the tee box. We discovered a couples league last year and boy was that a lot of fun. We met some really nice people, and we are looking forward to doing it again this year. I even got her to get out of her shell and join a women’s league …. she’s growing.

Anyway, back to the title of this article. “Why I will never get my wife to join a golf club”. Well, I won’t and the reason is pretty simple … we like to travel and play golf ( also she is financially efficient ). When we hit a certain milestone age we decided “NO MORE COLD BIRTHDAYS”! We both have January birthdays. Our progress started out typically - cruises. One day she came to me and told me she wanted to start playing golf again … It such a sweet thing to hear … It was like finding a new cup holder in your car. As she got better we started to explore more courses and then we took our first golf trip to Tucson, AZ. AWESOME!!! We stayed at this place that was like a cruise ship on land. We were hooked on golf and traveling. So, knowing my wife ( and I am sure other men’s wives) if she paid for it she is going to use it. That would mean whatever course we joined that is the only course we would play … that is not our style.

Besides playing courses around Kansas City (which there are a lot to explore), we have traveled to Canada, Dubai, Tucson, Arkansas, North Carolina and other places to play golf. I haven’t gotten her to Oklahoma yet, but I’m gonna.

As you can see joining a single club would not really be our style.

Anyway, I just wanted to share.

I have been wanting to write a series that covered what I play on my iPhone during workouts.

So here it begins.

This song was is the first one that I recall adding to my iPod for my workouts during my fitness renaissance. I have long been a fan of music for working out and the benefits it brings to helping to push you. While each person if different in what motivates them I’m just going to share what I like and why.

This song has a simple phrase in it that spoke to me “GET UP!!” and it was especially relevant during this phase of my life ( more on this in another post regarding another song). Also, the beat is something that I really enjoy as well. Hit me up on micro.blog if you want to chat about this topic more - @mcr.

Ok so as of today I am trying out this service that I’ve toyed with in the past. For those of you that have not heard of Mobile Mint … it use to be mintsim I believe or simmint. They appear to be an MVNO on the T-Mobile network.

So, why the change?

Well, there are a few reasons.

• For one I don't talk on the phone all that often. What I discovered recently is that even the people that are closest to me prefer to text and I rarely talk to them on the phone.
• I like FaceTime better.
• Paying to much for the pleasure of AT&T to hold a phone number for me.

I'll update this series as I try out the service, but I wanted to start the journey here.

Besides I saw this in a BuzzFeed article yesterday and it prompted me to think about doing this switch even more.
