Obsessed with eBay golf

The first step is admitting you have a problem, right? Well, sorry, but I'm not admitting anything ... except for my obsession with eBay.
Not just any old section of eBay, either. The online auction site's golf section has drawn my attention for several years now, but never more than in the past few months thanks to its iPad application. That little ap has provided me more mindless entertainment than any show on the E! network.
Basically, I've got a new hobby.
Here's what I like to do: First, I'll go to the "sporting goods" section, then narrow the search down to "golf." Secondly, I'll refine the search down to "time left" and hit the "1 hour" button. Suddenly I've got several pages worth of golf items whose auctions will end within the hour. Now, some of these items are pretty lame -- a thousand tees or a pair of matching Tweety Bird headcovers -- but others, like the latest must-have driver or sweet, high-end putter, definitely require further inspection.

Starting with "I"

I've never liked the idea of starting a sentence with the word "I." It always seems so self-centered, so "look-at-me." The funny thing is, as the youngest in my family and the only boy, I spent a great deal of my childhood running around saying, "Look at me!" As a grown-up, I'm not quite as bad, although my need to be heard is routinely met through my job as a sportswriter and columnist for the Standard-Examiner newspaper which is based in Ogden, Utah.
Anyway, since I've already broken one of my writing rules, I suppose I'll just press forward with my plan to introduce myself and my own personal blog.
