June 16, 2008Peace, RoccoA brief diversion into the world of sports. If you missed it yesterday, Rooco Mediate tied Tiger Woods in the U.S. Open at Torey Pines. They will play an 18-hole tie-breaker today. It was an exciting Sunday afternoon watching these two (and Lee Westwood) battle to the last hole. Mediate ranks 157th in the world. Woods ranks 1st. I'd be rooting for Mediate anyway, but yesterday he made it all the easier. He was relaxed and having a good time on the course. He wasn't throwing clubs, like Woods. The clincher, however, was his keen sense of style. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it on television: Mediate sported a peace sign belt buckle yesterday.

Alas, he said he won't wear it today. I wonder if he'll get invited to the White House if he wins.
