One less excuse for Tiger

Well, given that he’s apparently had LASIK, it’s not like he can claim that he had misplaced his glasses and accidentally had “relations” with women who weren’t his wife.
Received this in the mail last night and cracked up laughing. I hate it when I spend gobs of money on a beautiful four-color-with-bleeds marketing piece and mail it out to a gajillion people, only to have my star endorsement (whom I’ve also paid gobs of money for) making headlines for not being able to keep his fly zipped.Question: Do you think the “friends” who told Tiger about TLC were his Vegas “friends?” Maybe a New York “friend?” Possibly a Florida “friend.” I’m going with the Vegas friend theory, as those showgirls are more likely to have had LASIK since glasses would totally mess up the line of their fancy costume headpieces.

For posterity

I am working on the first of four rounds for my final project. Each round, in addition to a crapload of other work, contains a series of 10 Board Queries, or questions regarding the industry, financial statements, etc.

Weekend Fun!

One of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time! A few highlights: getting to see people we haven’t seen in a loooong time, ditching homework for the entire weekend, riding our bikes and walking on the new stretch of Highway 40, fireworks (!) as part of this year’s Grand Lighting. I imagine that this is how great much of life will be in two short weeks when we are done with school.

My Nikon mug has no shutter

It’s really quite sad when the extent of my photography has come to drinking my coffee from a mug emblazoned with the Nikon logo. Not quite the same as holding an actual Nikon, but at this point I will take whatever I can get.

I hate homework

I am absolutely FED UP with homework. Sick to death of it. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent writing a stupid case analysis on the 3M Company. The firm is pretty cool. It came up with Scotch tape and Thinsulate and Post-It Notes. But there’s only so many times you can write the word “innovation” in one paper before you want to just beat yourself silly with your textbook.

Zoe Games

Zoe has been playing a game in the car, where she holds out a certain number of fingers and asks me to remember (guess, actually, but she calls it remember) how many she has. I don’t have the rearview mirror tilted to where I can see her, so it really is a guessing game. She gets a big kick out of it, so I play along.

Bits and pieces

Don’t you love it when, a mere four days after you buy an ungodly expensive computer, the company releases an even better model with a bigger screen and a wireless mouse and keyboard standard AND prices it two hundred bucks less than what you just paid? Yeah, I love that, too. As I’m sure do the fine folks at the Apple store who received a phone call from me today. “Ummm, can you help me out here?” Thankfully, we’re within the 2-week return policy, so my new iMac will be packed up, taken back, and exchanged for an even newer iMac that costs less. Go figure.
