Rays of Inspiration
Life in General demands a certain amount of equanimity.[?] Don't waste time and energy getting angry and shaking your fist at things you can't control. Forget about luck, forget about what you think life ought to be and accept it for the exciting, unpredictable affair that it is.
Truth - Probabilities - Possibilities - Lies
"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle... Perhaps an editor might begin a reformation in some such way as this. Divide his paper into four chapters, heading the 1st-Truths. 2nd-Probabilities. 3rd-Possibilities. 4th-Lies.
The first chapter would be very short." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1807
Interesting quote, the book that I'm currently reading: Into the Buzzsaw touches on that subject.
"Award-winning journalists reveal the disturbing fact that the press in the U.S. isn't as free as the public would like to believe. Nearly two dozen reporters, at some risk to their careers, disclose run-ins with corporate or government powers-that-be which have prompted them to reevaluate the significance of journalism in a free and open society."
Those annoying Telemarketers
I got tired of those interrupting telephone sales calls, so I did like many across the country and signed up for one of those "no-call" lists that bar telemarketers from calling your line. I was suprised to find out that some charities and credit-card companies are exempted from most no-call lists (TG for my caller ID). I also propose that a "no-call/spam" list be established, many marketers that can no longer call are taking their tactics to cyberspace.
Tiger Woods successfully defends his title.
Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo have some company in their ultra-exclusive fraternity. Tiger Woods cruised to his third green jacket -- and seventh major -- on Sunday, shooting a steely 71 at Augusta National to join Nicklaus (1965-66) and Faldo (1989-90) as the only repeat winners of the Masters. Tiger has certainly positioned himself as one of the Greatest to ever play the game.
I added an Official Disclaimer page with the usual legal stuff as it relates to this site. I prefer to have certain things in writing in case there's ever a misunderstanding.
Unleashing Tiger
When Woods, now 26, first came to the Masters as a teen-age amateur seven years ago, six-time champion Jack Nicklaus and four-time champion Arnold Palmer both predicted a bright future for him. Nicklaus went so far as to say that Woods someday would win more Masters than he and Palmer did combined.
Ironically, as Woods is poised to go after his third Masters championship, both Nicklaus and Palmer are on the sidelines. Nicklaus could not play this year because a bad back and Palmer, 72, played his final round at the tournament Saturday.
Dissapointing Season
With the highest payroll in the NBA and essentially the same team as last year, the Knicks missed the playoffs for the first time in 16 years. I've always been a Knicks fan, through good times, bad times, I will hang in ... better years are coming, I hope.
