Have you heard about Jessica Watson? She’s sixteen and going around the world on a sail boat by herself. The scariest thing I did when I was sixteen was letting Rick Kaufman climb in my bedroom window in the middle of the night to make out. It was really fun. For me, it was funner than taking eight months away from friends and sailing around the world alone. But different strokes for different folks. There is much controversy about her doing this. ...read more When we last left the Tiger through the Woods post from last week, he was accused of having an indiscretion, and I mentioned the forest for the trees and that we need to leave this man and his family in peace while they figure out their problems. I vowed to stay away from reading the fray and to rise above the smut. Look, I don’t respect those who project one thing and live another. I try these days to live a more authentic ...read more Get it, Tiger in the Woods? Really it’s not about Tiger in the woods, as much as its about not seeing the forest for the trees. Listen up.

They call it water cooler talk, and ...read more For those of you not in the golf loop, this past weekend, Tom Watson, at the age of 59, almost won the British Open. It was an amazing display of tenacity that had the pundits spinning. “It’s bad for the game. If someone that old wins, then what does it say about the degree of difficulty in golf?” “It’s great for the game. Can you imagine if he wins it for the sixth time this late in his career?” And so the four ...read more I have a picture of Eight Belles in my office on the wall. You remember Eight Belles. She was the filly that ran in the Kentucky Derby last year and broke both her legs after finishing second in a field of nineteen boys. She was only the fourth filly to run in the Kentucky Derby in a bunch of years (I can’t remember how many). Sports Pundits all across America sang of her strength, her commitment, her heart. Animal activists ...read more |
