No apology
needed. Where he chooses to put his, er . . club . . is a private matter
between him and his wife. The public and press can STFU and go deal with their
own baggage.
Golfer
Tiger Woods apologized Wednesday for "transgressions" that let his
family down -- the same day a gossip magazine published a report alleging he
had an affair.

I bought
Smiley a gumball from a quarter machine. He rejected it when I brought it home,
pointing to his teeth and starting a fit. Ten minutes later I asked if we were
cool. "na-uh," he said, patting his breast. "ooo bwoke my
[h]eart". Jeez, what a momma's boy lol

If you
read today's Journal-Sentinel, you'll know that three of the 4 teens in this
video were killed just hours later in an East Troy car accident; the fourth,
the Andy mentioned in the title, is hospitalized with severe head injuries.
RIP.

An
unusually quiet and Hallmark-y morning, with Lisa sitting with the two oldest
girls in the living room, teaching them to sew so they can make their own
costumes from some old sheets they found. Oh, and 'Bama crushed Florida. What a
nice weekend so far.

Took the

walk, now writing and working up the nerve to hit the road to get some things
done. Or, I may nap. Either/or.

Just gave
a hitchiker a ride, which would be a first for me. He came begging for a lift
at a gas station, drunk and stranded at 7 at night. Gotta love the South Side.

So Smiley
is wrapping presents with Lisa at the dining room table, and he spots the Zuzu
pets we've kept hidden. Speech problems? Not today "Zuhzu Pets!" he
yells, inspiring his two year old sister to run around the house repeating news
of the sighting.

Just
received word I'll be in the Journal again on Christmas Day. You've got plenty
of notice, so no excuses for not buying a paper that day :) That'll be the 13th
or 14th column of the year for me. Kinda neat it's happened so often I've lost
count.

Barnes
and Noble has at least OK'd "Merry Christmas", after what I'm told
were a few years of PC "Happy Holidays!". But note that while their
current gift card selection rightly includes a menorah for Hannukah none - not
one of the cards I've seen - includes anything but secular depictions of
Christmas. Santa, snowflake, nutcracker, odd Christmas rabbit, winter scene.
Baby in a manger? Naw - but after all, who thinks of Jesus at this time of
year? December 20, 2009 at 1:09 pm
I'm loving
the coverage in Minnesota! Childress tried to bench Favre in last nights game,
Favre refused (!) and words have been exchanged in the press. The Star-Tribune

I think
it's appalling that 'legitimate' media outlets like CNN and CBS are using
gossip sites like TMZ as official sources and then running pieces with no
legitimacy . . do I think Brittany Murphy died of drugs? Probably. But I
wouldn't write a headline piece about it just because a quack on TMZ (who
didn't know her or work on the case) said it "must have been drugs".

Daddy who works for ESPN and isn't happy that his son is nothing more than a
mediocre, part time college player, the man is out of a job. Ugh.
