Charlie:

I received this one from an old friend and camping buddy from San Diego who doesn't want me to identify him. HE received it from a fellow who is with the Louisville Orchestra, of all places. I'm not sure who really wrote the thing, since it's not attributed.

Sadly, I do agree that we have become a nation of voyeurs and those in the media who aid and abet same. I have no wish to indulge myself in it and regret any appearance of same. Tiger was a local celebrity before he was a national one - as a junior golfer. He made what appear to be unfortunate choices which are none of my business.

That said, once you strive to become a media darling, you need to prepare yourself for the day you're unmasked or - reveal your shortcomings.
