Rr... I was in a good mood and really wanted to play Hot Shots Golf again, so I did, for the first time in months... and came within a hair's breath of smashing my last unsmashed controller.

I have to learn to accept that the whole genre of high-stakes sports & driving games is closed to me for the foreseeable future. Probably not until a non-neocon is POTUS. I wish I was joking.

WTF does a golf video game have to do with our IDSfBPOTUS? Was it networked and you had to be involved in chat with a bunch of "golf buddies" who were talkign bout how its good were kickign soem towlhead ass adn demoncrats r juts a buch of sissy gilrs in bras and pnaties?

BTW, as governor of TX, our IDSfBP typically spent an hour or two in the middle of his six-hour workdays playing video games, including video golf.

It has more to do with my hypothesis that my ability to withstand stress was permanently and significantly weakened after Nov. 2, due to the fact that my baseline anger level rose by a like amount. So failing at a high-stress situation, like missing a putt, can really set me off, and moreso now than was true last October.

For some reason, I actually get much less stressy about playing networked games. But network golf is kind of lame. :)
