There have been other weeks during which Tiger Woods' life has borne little resemblance from Sunday to Sunday. In the second week of April in 1997 when all the potential suddenly turned into the phenomenon of the youngest major-winner in golfing history; in the first week of May 2006, when the death of Earl Woods forced the son to become a man with no mentor to turn to, no guru to impress.
One man's house may be his castle but in the case of film-maker Roman Polanski yesterday, released at last from his prison cell just outside Zurich, it is his luxury prison. Chalet is the correct term for the 19,000 square foot wooden home on the edge of the gold-plated ski town of Gstaad, high in the Bernese Alps, where Polanski was deposited by Swiss police yesterday after posting bail of $4.5 million and paying $2,000 for the electronic devices that will prevent him from leaving its confines.

Well sorry, but things like this make me blub. There's hope. You can't be me, I'm taken
It's a bit bitterweet when you consider that some of the cleaning staff in the video won't have the health insurance that would enable breast cancer awareness to be meaningful keep to the Fen Causeway
That wedding dance was a meme built on many preceding memes. I could show you some stuff I did with Harry Nilsson and the Stepney & Pinner choir club that might lay some claim as a forerunner. (Look for 'Did somebody drop his mouse' on YouTube. I got very pissed off with the awful Mr Nilsson at one point and put a dead mouse we found in the Soho studio at the bass end of his piano in the shadows before a take. Hence title of as yet unreleased rockumentary. Richard Perry was a prat too - getting a barber to come in and do his Afro while he sat in the producer's chair. "Never work with children, animals or speeded-up AND sozzled musicians". Nicky Hopkins was nice though)
That and the choice of music are irrelevant to me: the Pink Glove video simply showed humans at their best. I guess I am an optimist. You can't be me, I'm taken
Here's the second half
As an aside, "Prophecy," not going to try to spell it, in Dineh doesn't carry the same connotations the word has in English. For one thing the Spirit World is not categorically separate. Removing the Spirit World from the "Material World" would be like trying to remove the yeast from an already baked loaf of bread. Can't do it. So a prophecy isn't from some woo-woo Otherness. The nearest I can get to it is: it's like the pages of an encyclopedia you haven't read. The information is there but you have to have a copy of the encyclopedia, you have to be able to read it, you have to go looking for it, and finally you have to read and remember it. After you've done all that then you can tell people what was in it. That's what an Elder does. Subtracting the - I would guess - unfamiliar thus strange narrative from the YouTube what we are being told is as practical and pragmatic as saying, "I prophetize if you place your hand on a table and hit it really hard with a hammer it's going to mess up your hand and hurt like hell. So don't do that. If you are doing that already ... Stop. You'll feel better." 98% of all Nation prophecies run along those lines.
(The other 2% is much, much, different. But let's not go there.)
