Several blog readers wrote to tell me Tiger Woods was not fined.
I’m glad to learn that. He actually deserves a medal.
Tiger complained about PGA officiating at the Akron tournament.
He felt an official hurried up his competitor, Padraig Harrington.
That led Padraig to make some disastrous shots.
It may have cost him the tournament.
Tiger is a competitor. Of course, he wanted to win.
$1.4 million was at stake.
But he wanted Padraig to have a fair chance.
Always take the high road with your competition.
When you play fair, you sleep better.
Never speak ill of them. Even if they speak ill of you.
Such talk belittles them, not you.
If someone knocks them, don’t join in the criticism.
Listen and learn. Keep your own counsel.
Critics tell us our competition is in financial trouble.
We agree they have challenges as do we, but we say:
"Can you imagine having no daily newspaper?"
Print newspapers have an uncertain future.
But the future of local news, online or in print, is certain.
Publishers will find ways to publish. It is vital to a free society.
Can you imagine a free society without a free flow of news?

Seeing a pattern emerge here. Separate the wheat and chaff, saying no, and figuring out what you can "not" do.
Some might say it is escapism to try to avoid some things, but the reality is, we cannot do everything. We end up chasing so many things at once, that we don't end up catching anything.
