Cinderella story …
Just when one thinks they have so many very important things to do & life is a blur with busyness .. I get a call from #7 with news .. Steve King died.
Steve you were an inspiration 28 years ago when I met you and again today when I reflect on the many many memories of you. Your passion, high energy, commitment to excellence and hard work to be the best has been & is a great influence to many of us through the years.
“So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga...gunga -- gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.”
Nothing tangible is really all that important, after all what will it matter in 100 years ..
Blue Skies Steve
