Finally got out on the course after a long Connecticut winter. I have been itching to play since November. When the weather finally cooperated, I grabbed my clubs and headed to my local course. Let us just say the rust was showing. But by the back nine, I started finding my rhythm.

Hot take: Connecticut has the best pizza in America. Frank Pepe in New Haven is the original. The white clam pizza is life-changing. Sally Apizza is the locals choice. Modern Apizza gets overlooked but their Italian bomb is incredible.

It started as a joke. Now it is one of the most important parts of my life. A friend dared me to take an improv class. I thought it would be embarrassing. Instead, it was liberating.
