After a week that included thunderstorms, an earthquake and a hurricane here in North Carolina, it was a beautiful day filled with blue skies and sunshine.  I decided I really wanted some fresh air and thought I could maneuver my mid-morning tasks to the end of the day and sneak out of the office for 9-holes of golf.  On my drive to the course I was so thankful I had made the time and was already enjoying this lovely day.  After a quick visit to the pro shop, I loaded my clubs on the cart and realized that something didn’t feel right.  I peered down and discovered that I was wearing sandals.  I had forgotten my golf shoes.  In fact, I could visualize them by the door where I had left them.    The moment of truth was upon me.  If there was any chance I was going to play golf that day, I would have to return to the office pronto.  Keeping my eyes focused on my golf clubs, trunk and golf cart, I promised myself that I’d come back to the course later—with proper shoes.   I got a rain check and drove back to the office, willing myself back to work.  Even though I was still disappointed, the drive was a nice opportunity to indulge in a little sunshine.
