Sunday 6th July
Well! One has spent all winter bottling up the libido and if one wants to
while away a weekend watching golf on television, it only means a man is
growing a bit older and facing certain grisly realities. I stretch out on
the leather sofa expecting a treat while the rain pours down from the
heavens and my man mixes a cocktail and I've spent what little spring
there has been fuming over Tiger Woods' no-shows at the sport's premier
events. He seems dazed, spent, to care little for the ways of paunchy,
pasty men. I can't believe it! Then, an astute correspondent sent me
something that explains all. No, dear reader, it isn't a diagram of the
new, faulty Tiger backswing, or an MRI of his recently repaired knee
revealing that the surgeon absent-mindedly left a corn chip beneath the
sutures. It is, rather, a pic of his alpha-blonde girlfriend, Elin
Nordegren, a Svenska who apparently was bitten by a deer tick and suffers
the agonies of babeosis. All is understood, Tiger. All is forgiven. After
all, why leave your essence on nameless lawns, striding hither and yon,
jaw set as though any of it mattered? None of us, in your place, would
pick up a club again, or leave the house, for that matter. Don't worry
about us. We'll get along, somehow.
