Break, burns and all, extend out an arm, and say, "You getting there, you getting there."
or are you a Catholic? I grew up Hindu, my family still is, but one year into America
and I started calling myself a Buddhist. Other than a few visits to a Buddhist
monastery in Bloomington, Indiana, years later and several trips to the Mahayana

that surrounds someone like Tiger must take its emotional toll. His wife did not try to hit him with a golf club, the apple did not fall on Newton's head. Those two facts we know.

Mr. Woods has never used his family as accessories on his brand as say, Phil Mickelson has, and he has asked paparazzi to stay away from his children.
