I’m sorry Joe, but you just can’t use 0 or 30 as the ending number for the alarm clock. I wake up at Dimagio / Ruth (5:03). The coffee pot is programed to start at Gehrig / Aaron (4:44) so it will be fresh as soon as I head downstairs. If I need to warm my bagel, I type in Maddux (31) on the microwave. I’m not 42 years old; I’m Jackie Robinson’s number.

Actually, I do set my clock for something like 6:13 or 6:04. I don’t know why. Even numbers seem fascist.

My alarm is never set to a 5 or a 0, I just can’t get up then. Usually its :03 or :44, but I’ve been known to use :22 as well. Yeah its a little strange, but so is not stepping on the foul lines

Have you read the NY Post story on the alleged “other woman”? http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/the_night_that_my_life_spun_o5oYvhdiiYINolBBteiOFL

At the risk of being naive: I actually believe her.

Read the story. It’s basically just a transcript. It’s not a tightly-scripted statement from a flack. The comments are so rambling and unfocused that they feel true to me. There’s a good bit of detail there.

Maybe she’s just a phenomenal liar, but the story does make some sense. If you work in a NYC club VIP room you’re going to encounter a lot of celebrities and a lot of scumbags.

BTW, can you get a DUI if you are on private property? Not sure how the FL law is worded (do you have to be on a public thoroughfare before the law applies?) and also not sure if Tiger ever made it to the street, but if he didn’t, then the only criminal charges from the vehicular accident would be possible criminal trespass into his neighbor’s yard (with the car)

joe,

love the post. are you an auster fan? i wonder what you think of james wood’s review of his fiction in the latest new yorker.

i’ve sort of always felt this about auster – that he’s been jeterated for being a master stylist for way too long.

Everyone should calm down and wait for Charles Barkley to comment. He’ll tell us what to think.

What I don’t understand is why Tiger just didn’t admit that he was rushing to Walmart for the Black Friday 3 a.m. opening to replace their 50″ plasma TV because Elin had been practicing in the media room and put a golf ball through their TV. As he left she was running after him to tell him to make sure he gets a Sony.
