Some random thoughts as the confluence of meaningful sports seasons approaches.

The penalty strokes assessed against “Tiger” Woods affected the “match up” proposition wager of Luke Donald vs Woods. I am not aware of all details but again let it serve as a warning about the vicissitudes of gambling.

Did you notice the “Richards” character (Ken) played by Lee Majors had strong romantic feelings, apparently not reciprocal, for Linda Gray’s character, the formidable and beautiful “Sue Ellen?” Remember when young Christopher Atkins also suffered unrequited love or at least heartbreak regarding Sue Ellen? His character’s name was Peter Richards.
