My Two Seconds of (Uncredited) Fame
Hugh Grant on Letterman last night. If you have to ask why this is important to me, let me know or go to Amazon and check it out!
Can It Get Any Sillier?
Three things here. You decide their relative importance.
1) Article in the New York Times about a doctor from Canada possibly giving performance-enhancing drugs and guess whose name is prominently mentioned?
2) Article in the New York Times about a young golfer getting advice from an older countryman who uses guess who as the negative role model.

Is It Over Yet?
I’m looking forward to the day when all the blogs, Tweets, and Facebook Status Updates aren’t about Tiger, aren’t bad jokes about hitting hydrants and 9-irons, and I can stop hearing about what goes on inside the velvet ropes at VIP clubs.

If you’re convinced that Tiger did the wrong thing by remaining silent, maybe the world’s greatest golfer is smarter (or has better legal representation) than many of us think. My son the law student sent me this link to a legal site that posits some very good reasons for Tiger keeping mum about the accident and especially his wife’s actions....
