SubZeroConsciousness

The U.S. Open is being played in my neck of the woods, and unfortunately the weather hasn’t been cooperating.  Those greens must be in terrible shape!  I don’t know if Tiger can perform another miracle under these conditions.  At least my fellow New Yorkers have been providing lots of “atmosphere”, so much so that they cut off beer sales yesterday at Bethpage Black because of the heckling.  I thought I was watching the Bleacher Creatures at a Yankees-Red Sox game.

Here’s some good reading from the last week:

The Art of Manliness has an article about the lessons learned from growing up fatherless;

Jim at Bargaineering wonders how much house he can buy for $10,000;

Blunt Money talks about dealing with envy;

Lazy Man and Money offers tips on saving money on groceries;

Passive Family Income shows us how to make over $400 an hour in passive income;

David at My Two Dollars tells us when spending the money is worth the cost;

Steve at Brip Blap gives his take on the Four(ty)-Hour Work Week;

Trent at The Simple Dollar offers up a personal journal entry from before he found success;

Peter at Bible Money Matters gives us a bible verse about not paying your debts;

Andy at Tight-Fisted Miser tells us why he’s dropping Google Adsense.

Update: Lucas Glover pulled it out. I guess Phil Mickelson was the sentimental favorite.  It was nice to see David Duval finish strong.
