Milestones. Formerly distance markers in ancient times. (add photo). In today's modernity we use the term in somewhat different ways. Milestones now mark significant events in our lives. The day we met, the passing of a loved one, starting dates, ending dates, graduations and anniversaries alike, and of course everybody's favorite day to celebrate, our annual birthday. In our youth, birthday's represented rites of passage, where society metes out privileges in small increments. Turn sixteen, you get to drive, eighteen you're no longer a minor, at twenty-one you can finally take a seat at a bar and order your first adult beverage (legal one, that is).  For us on the wrong side of young, society wisely spreads the milestones out some.

One Last Ball..

I sat fidgety atop my club's veranda trying to stay loose, stretching my cramping too-tanned legs for my final lesson of the day. Yet my client was late. Calls to his number got us nowhere, none of the girls at the desk recognized his name. Inches away from my favorite kind of lesson, the no-show, no-call, still get-paid type, I heard the rumblings of a classic car muffler circling the parking lot past the tree line. The ultimate mixed feeling. The tired sore part of me aching for early quits, the professional in me trained to be patient and understanding. My coach's periscope activated, I scanned the horizon profiling all within site when down the shrub-lined pathway an elderly gentleman appeared.
