I JUST saw the comment that you left on my blog in freaking 2008 about being a guest author. I didn't think anyone was reading what I was writing so I just stopped using blogspot. I got curious today to look back at what I had written and was just going to mess around and write something else and then saw your comment (and flailed in excitement). If the offer is still open, I would love...LOVE...to be a guest author. Please let me know if that's still an option. The quickest and most certain way at the moment for me to actually know that you've responded to this would be to just email me at aalexx45@hotmail.com. Life lessons learned: always check blogspot and never give up... I'm keeping notes. Happy new year and thank you again for the offer! I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner! <br />Best,<br />Andreaandreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108538189586915621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439647783347819362.post-27616456690392629172010-01-02T01:44:02.389-05:002010-01-02T01:44:02.389-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108538189586915621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439647783347819362.post-37831519289881955862009-12-14T01:37:05.469-05:002009-12-14T01:37:05.469-05:00I've wondered the same.

Also from the perspective that Tiger, with a life so saturated in golf, golf, golf, and saturated with intense parental attention, he might have developed an overly self-centered persona. Me, me, me. Wife? Feelings? Hurt? Who? <br /><br />But still. It's grow up adult time. Accept the responsibility of husband and father. You can win golf tournaments against the greatest? You can keep your zipper zipped (psst, professional help IS available in every city there's a tournament).shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439647783347819362.post-47632219263069413122009-12-12T11:30:11.404-05:002009-12-12T11:30:11.404-05:00Excellent perspective on the Tiger Woods issue.

I totally identify with delayed adolescence as I went through that in my late 40's after my second divorce. Once again we are cautioned against easy judgments of others even though their behaviors are less than we expected.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922205386878237678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439647783347819362.post-24670429150157343632009-12-12T11:28:48.199-05:002009-12-12T11:28:48.199-05:00A well written essay.

We are the product of our genes and our early and ongoing environments. We cannot change our pasts. We can only alter our potential futures.<br /><br />My take, at this point, is that Tiger's "extended break" from golf is really about seeing what the terrain will look like in, say, 6 months (perhaps only 3). It is a business decision. Even what happens in his marriage (which I would counsel he gets out of) will be a business decision. Maybe it shouldn't be, in some opinions, but it will be. What will the endorsement landscape for Tiger look like in 6 months? I don't have a well-tuned crystal ball but I suspect it will be similar to today only scaled down quite a bit. And, after a period, it will grow again into a powerhouse.<br /><br />Because, unless Tiger's golf talent falters too (and I do not believe it will until his 40's, if even then), what happens in his private life will not matter in the long run.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.com
