  1. Gotta love the Dalai Lama - but to think he didn't know who Tiger Woods was????? It's not like he is one of those cloistered monks....

    BTW, laundry crisis today as I discovered my laundry ball had wound up in the dryer. It must have been stuck in the sheets. Have you had this happen before and did it affect future washes?? I'll need to be more careful next time!
