Mused if want to watch anything special this last weekend before major surgery for possible gynaecological cancer next week. Decided upon "Batman Returns". This film led to my first not quite a date with my future husband, as we ran into each other by chance in the #StAndrews cinema in summer 1992.
I still think it's one of the best #Batman #movies ever. Though to be fair I am biased! I also have a very soft spot for the movie's soundtrack, including "Face to Face" by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

The opening and closing holes at the home of golf, the Old Course at St Andrews in Fife. The Society of St Andrews Golfers was formed here in 1754. This became the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in 1834, or simply "The R&A". More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/standrews/standrews/index.html

Virtually flying around Minto Golf Course, remembering some holes better than others from childhood! Usually played the bottom 8. I can't remember ever playing all 18. The only course I've played 18 holes on was The Old Course at St Andrews. Needed special permission! https://www.mintogolf.co.uk/the-course/ #Golf #ScottishBorders #StAndrews

Here is the web page about the early years of Mary Queen of Scots exhibition at the Wardlaw Museum in St Andrews. Highly recommended. Great economic and social history about 1540s Scotland, with a wide range of exhibits, from all over the country. https://mary-queen-of-scots.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk #StAndrews #ScottishHistory #History

Lovely visit to St Andrews to see the Mary Queen of Scots exhibition at the university’s Wardlaw Museum, buy too many books in Toppings, and unexpectedly get my hair cut at Dynamic Hair, where the staff remembered this long time customer after many years. Then fish and chips by seaside in Monifieth. #StAndrews #Books

"The best way to predict your future is to put it on the calendar—and then earn the right to be there." - Futurist Jim Carroll

The Art of the Infinite Pivot has been paused until next Tuesday.
--Looking at my app today, these aren't just tee times. They are a receipt.
I mean, you don't often get to see something like this on your phone!
Let the bucket begin!
I'm sending this out just as my flight is coming up over the Irish coast - we should be landing in Edinburgh within the hour. My son Tom and I will get at least 4, and perhaps 5 or 6 rounds in. But, we might have—as they say in Scotland—a wee bit o' weather! Hi Dave! LOL!
I never thought I'd see it come to fruition, but I was determined.I certainly won't let a little storm get in the way of a bucket list!
Look, I know I was going to stop posting about this, but not yet.
You might remember that back in March, I was in the thick of "Rotation Day"—the grueling first steps of twisting a spine that had been fractured in three places. I talked then about "engineering the outcome" and following a blueprint. I did the cardio. I did the heavy lifting. I did the work. I wrote about it in this post, with this image:
Today, the "blueprint" phase is officially over. The "Upcoming Reservations" are no longer abstract goals—they are the next 5 days of my life. If we are lucky, we'll get out for a round on arrival today, simply as a part of the process of staying awake!
I've learned a lot through this whole ordeal. Perhaps its that that we often spend too much time hoping for a "bucket list" moment and not enough time building the bridge to get there. If you are currently in your own version of "Rotation Day"—recovering from a setback, pivoting a business, or grinding through a tough project, keep your eyes on the calendar.
Because the future arrives for those who do the heavy lifting to meet it.
(I'm pretty certain I'll be sharing another golf photo in Monday's inspiration!)---
Futurist Jim Carroll just hopes he doesn't shank off the first tee on the Old Course.**#BucketList** **#StAndrews** **#Golf** **#Scotland** **#Calendar** **#Earned** **#Recovery** **#Blueprint** **#Journey** **#Achievement** **#Milestone**

"A bucket list requires a blueprint. You can’t just hope to succeed. You need to engineer the outcome." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Ok, I'm back to my spinal recovery thing, but I'm damned excited!
You don't often get these tee times in your account!
April.
Old Course, St. Andrews.
And so with that, it was 'rotation day' yesterday!
What is 'rotation day'? It's the first day of exercises designed specifically to get my previously injured spine ready for the mechanics of the golf swing.
I've done the cardio. I've done the work to get the core back in shape. I'm doing the heavy lifting. I've put in the work. Here's 30 days of effort. I don't do this to brag; I share it to say, "I've put in the work."
(The workouts include walking - if I exclude that, I still had 28 solid days at the gym out of the last 30).
Rotation day involves doing a series of exercises that twist your body, torso, and spine.
All the things you couldn't and shouldn't do in the early stages of an L1 to L3 spinal fracture.
As I was doing this routine yesterday, I kept reminding myself that to make a bucket list item work, you've got to put in the work. I can't hope to show up in early April, swing a golf club after this situation, and expect a great round. I've got to put to work the muscles that were not put to work, and some of which were battered and bruised in the fall, to work.
On April 6, I'll tee off at the Old Course.
Pure bucket list.
You can't get to a bucket list if the potential for the bucket has been interrupted by circumstances.
You've got to push through the circumstances.
Fore!

Futurist Jim Carroll hopes for 4 days of extraordinary golf at St. Andrews in early April.
