You might as well face it, he’s . . .
. . . addicted to sex. Is Tiger Woods a sex addict? The Today Show seems to think so even going to the lengths of interviewing Sex Rehab Dr. Drew Pinsky. The running count of mistresses is at nine, and two of them are apparently adult film stars. According to a video on TMZ, one of the adult film stars says she was the one “picked” by Tiger to go into his bedroom during his bachelor party. She said he was very polite and a gentleman; so I guess his parents did raise him well. :)
As we learn more and more, the odds of his marriage and/or endorsements surviving this are growing slimmer and slimmer.

Latest 911 Call from the Woods Residence
911 Operator: Hello, 911 Operator here.
Caller: Woof, wooof, woofa, woo, Tony the Tiger, woof, wookie, wook. (Translation: Hello, this is Tony the Tiger, Tiger’s dog. Yeah, I know, he is really creative with pet names, NOT!!!).
911 Operator: What is the emergency?
Caller: Woof, wook, cook, look, @$%#! woof, wooo, woooooof, woof! (Translation: Please get me out of this [Jerry] house right now! The people here are either cheatin’, poppin’, screamin’, or faintin’.)
911 Operator: Sorry, with our recent budget cuts, and with Tiger’s money being offshore and therefore untaxable, we have no canine-trained EMTs.
Caller: Woof, wooof, woo, woof, woofa, wfado, wooff woofof woof! (Translation: What kind of third world gated community is this? I got better treatment when Kultida took me to Thailand. At least can you send me some Kibble & Bits – no one has gone to buy dog food in days. I am sick of eating those golf club covers).
L.A. Sizzle
I have been to Beverly Hills and Melrose (both drive-bys) and they are certainly worlds apart. But last night on the CW they combined for an incendiary two hours of tv watching. The first week of December is the end of putative fall tv season and all the shows have a quasi-cliffhanger until they return in January or later. On 90210, the cliffhanger was not that great, but all that came before it was. Old couples reigniting; new ones fading; a drug dealer exposed; one addiction ending; a new one beginning. I was not satisfied with one plot development which left me with a sour taste, but leave it to Melrose to sweeten things up. After weeks of snail-like development, the floodgates are opened – engagement ended; passion ignited; murderer uncovered and then taken for a dip; and an unexpected twist. 2010 should be a huge year for both shows – it brings back memories of the heyday of the original shows (when they were back-to-back).

Food for Thought
Human Rights For Men and Women in Intimate Relationships
The right to share equally with your partner all decisions and responsibilities related to your relationship, children, home and finances.
The right to share equally with your mate in all financial decisions.
The right to have friendships outside of your relationship as long as you do not violate the privacy of your relationship with your partner.
The right to express your opinion and then be given the same respect and consideration as those of your mate.
The right to have and express your sexual needs and desires without feeling like you are selfish, demanding, or aggressive.
The right to have your emotional, physical and intellectual needs be as important as the needs of your mate.
The right to expect your mate to do his/her part to resolve difficulties to your relationship.
The right to hold your mate responsible for his or her behavior rather than assuming that responsibility yourself.
The right to seek professional help with your relationship.
The right never to be physically attacked or emotionally degraded by your mate and the right to end the relationship (and to seek safety), if either occurs.
The right to expect significant behavioral changes rather than apologies and promises from your partner if a single battering incident occurs.
The right to not blame yourself if the relationship in which you have invested so much love and effort ends.

A Second Cup and a Second Chance
I am all about second chances so I decided to afford Perky Cups a second chance. I did not anticipate offering it a second chance but I happened to be judging a debate tournament at a high school that was about 500 yards away from the strip mall housing Perky Cups so I decided to stop by.
What a difference in service this time around. I was greeted when I walked in, and both the barista and cashier were friendly (and, of course, decked out in their bikini tops even though the temperature was in the teens). And while I was a bit concerned when the barista told the cashier she had never made a cappuccino before (which was my order), and even though the cashier gave me the wrong pastry from the pastry case, all worked out well as the cappuccino was very good (apparently they use Peaberry coffee). There was only other customer other than myself so if you are interested in giving Perky Cups a chance, you should head there soon.

Remembering the Salahis
Yesterday, the Obamas lit the Washington Christmas tree. I wonder if the Salahis were there?
