No real coherent post today, just some thoughts on various topics…

A reader commented the other day “Not really a swingshift topic, but it would be interesting to get both of your takes on Tiger after that (pathetic) news conference. You’d think he killed someone by the tone of it.”

Okay, here it is:

I. Don’t. Care.

I’m a big Tiger Woods fan, have been since I saw him come from behind to win a US Amateur (or maybe it was Jr Amateur) open.  I watch golf if he is in contention to win or I don’t watch at all.

When I heard he was having a news conference, I purposely avoided the TV at that time, when I was home and certainly could have watched if I wanted.  I haven’t seen any of the clips or read the transcript, all I know is he apologized profusely.  It was a 13 1/2 minute statement? I’m glad I didn’t lose that 13 1/2 minutes of my life listening to him.

That’s how I feel.

A little over a week ago, I wrote that I was considering self-hosting Hubman’s Hangout.  Well, I’ve taken the first step and Hubman’sHangout.com is mine now!  You can click on the link if you’d like, but there’s nothing there yet.  Veronica is taking the kids to NY this weekend for her step-dad’s retirement party (I have work obligations and can’t go), so I’m hoping to migrate all of the content then.

For my blogger friends who self-host their blogs, consider yourself warned, I may be bugging you for help!

I had a nice little rant written about some things I don’t like on Twitter, but I deleted it.  Rather than appear to lecture others on how to use a form of social media, I’ll just keep those thoughts to myself and quietly un-follow anyone whose feed no longer interests me.

Sunday afternoon I made the kids bundle up and we took the dog for a walk around the block.  For some stupid reason, I decided to propose a game of “guess how many times she pees and poops on the walk”.

Anyone care to guess what the dominant conversation piece was for the next 10 minutes?

Yeah, I won’t be trying that idea again!

I was a little sad to read last week that the TMI Tuesday meme might be coming to an end soon.  For many of us, TMI Tuesday, along with Half-nekkid Thursday, has been a reliable, sometimes risque, source of blog content while we were trying to find our individual blog “voices”.  While I haven’t played all that often lately, I’ll still miss it, if it really is going away.

That being said, I believe that Professor Fate has offered the keys to TMI Tuesday to anyone who is interested in taking the reigns and continuing the tradition (mixed metaphors anyone?).  His contact info is on the TMI Tuesday page.

When Veronica bought the DSLR for me for Christmas, she got it at a store that offers a free 4 week/2 hrs per week course in digital photography.  Tomorrow night is the first class, and I’m excited to start learning how to take full advantage of my fancy-schmancy camera.  By the end of my Project365 I hope to be shooting in manual mode more often than not.

Happy Tuesday!!!
