Needless to say, I'm excited about 2007. Finding out that I'm going to become a father this summer feels pretty darn great. Elin and I don't know whether we're going to have a boy or a girl, and we're debating whether to find out. As long as it's healthy, that's the main thing. We're not even close to picking a name.

I had a great time during the holidays and went skiing in Colorado with family and friends. I must admit I'm improving on the slopes. It's like anything: The more repetitions you do, the better you get.

My birthday was pretty quiet. I hung out with some friends and mostly slept.

I got back into golf a couple weeks ago. Hank Haney came to Florida and we worked hard for four or five days. It was just a matter of getting the bugs out. From there, I worked on my own.

My close friend Notah Begay III visited and we spent about a week practicing together and playing little games. It was just like the old days at Stanford, when we would grind and needle each other. Notah qualified for the European Tour this year and I wish him luck. He has a lot of talent, but has battled back injuries and I hope he can stay healthy.
