600.

That's a lot of victories.

In fact, it's about 23 per season for 26 seasons. That's how @NewTrierGBB's Teri Rodgers reached the milestone Tuesday night.

To her, though, wins are just a part of the story and not as important as "the process"

@arlowhite You might as well add ‘Viva Saudi Arabia’ to this tweet. Or, ‘Yay’ to countries that demean and denigrate women. Or, ‘Yay’ to golfers who choose money over humanity. Or, ‘not surprising in a country that watches children get slaughtered by guns loves golf run by autocrats’.

A timely reminder that after turning 95 years old, President Jimmy Carter suffered a fall that left him with a black eye, bruises, and 14 stitches — and still went out the next day to build homes for Habitat for Humanity.

It's w/ the heaviest of hearts we mourn the passing of our pal & 6th Lobo @LinBrehmer. We had no better friend or bigger supporter on earth. His smile when he got up & played maracas w/ us at his bday party could have lit up Wrigley. Rest in peace our brother @93xrt

@DonaldJTrumpJr The beauty of being an idiot is that you don’t realize you’re an idiot. Truly your ignorance must be blissful.
