Happy New Year!—2014

I wish all of my regular or occasional commenters, regular or occasional lurkers, or visitors who happened by this post by chance the happiest and most prosperous of new years in 2014. We could use it.

Over the last twenty-four hours Chicago has been slugged in with a snowstorm. Upwards of 15 inches have fallen here so far. If my lead dog wasn’t 15 years old and I were feeling better, I’d be thinking of pulling out the dogsled.

However, I’ve been sick as a dog since Monday. If you’ve wondered why my posting has been so light—that’s the reason.

    And your grammar’s bad.

    You write: “If my lead dog wasn’t 15 years old and I were feeling better, ….”

    when you should have written: “If my lead dog weren’t 15 years old and if I were feeling better, ….”

    Where does this grammar schizophrenia come from?

    Told by my doctor this morning that my health will probably improve if my neighbor goes to prison. Here’s to a conviction for leaving the scene of an accident with injuries! Five years minimum sentence in a state pound-him-in-the-ass prison with his priors for assaulting a police officer, assaulting his ex-wife (repeatedly beating her in front of their daughter), repeatedly beating the shit out of his girlfriend in front of their three sons, stalking, intimidating witnesses, and a list of driving offenses that is very long indeed.

    But man, it is a trip to have one’s doctor say something like that directly. I wonder if ObamaCare supports mandatory prison sentences?

    Once again, I know we don’t have a bunch of golfers here. But please watch this. You will be in the presence of genius. Note the persimmon woods. I’ve seen his irons. Scalpels, not present day irons. This is the Michael Jordan of golf. Period, full stop. He would dust Tiger, just waste him. I’m a low handicap, competitive, golfer and understand the game. Nicklaus would dismember him limb from limb.
