As I Was Saying in the Chat Room
So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...
Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.
What's up with it this week?
You can tell I'm a duffer, though I like to watch
Tiger, as well as a select handful of others can play in any PGA Tour sponsored or co-sponsored event they want for the rest of their lives. Tour grants lifetime exemption for anyone with 30 or more career wins. Golfers do not become eligible for the Champions Tour until they are 50, but they are not precluded from regular Tour events just because they are 50 or older.
And yes, I'd like to see Tiger fulfil his potential as well, and I think he will. Only Nicklaus and Snead have more career Tour wins, and only Nicklaus has more professional Majors. Tiger should be able to eclipse both of those marks.
As for his off-course behavior, it is unfortunate but let's face it, he's no Michael Vick, and thank goodness for that!
But yeah, I don't see what his personal life has to do with his sporting skill.
Might as well use this space for something useful. Let's see,
Tiger Woods won his first championship in over 2 years.
Goooooo Tiger! I hope he comes back for the last of his prime of his career. Age 49 is the last year a golfer qualifies for the pro tour. Thereafter they are relegated to the still very lucrative Champions (Seniors) tour.
If Tiger (now 35) can win 10 more majors and 25 more championships he will set the high water mark for golfers for probably the next century, if not forever (100+ wins in the regular season).
Moral turpitude is reprehensible and not to be condoned, but in this most difficult of games, a true great like Woods can make it a small asterisk in a rather large biography of one of those they call "The Greatest".
you are missed in the chat, and looking foreward to you making it back in there!

and the issue's been reported to the tech guys.
I will ping them again on the subject.
Just to let all my CR buddies know that I am not avoiding you. I have been unable to get into the CR for several months now, for technical reasons I do not understand. It is not a problem at my end, I have tried with different computers, settings, changing names, changing passwords etc. Apparently the tech people know about it, but they have a lot of other more important glitches to clear up so I have to wait. Maybe I did something bad in the CR?? Hope not. Please know that I miss you, especially on these long cold lonely evenings and when I am on the road. I hope to be back some time.
Happy Midwinter Festival of your choice

I have filed an inquiry. A lot of things seem to be behaving oddly.
