Millar's been such a vocal opponent of doping since coming back from his ban that if he's doping and gets caught, then just write off professional cycling.

He burst into tears during the presser when he learned that Rasmussen had been fired.

He wrote a long diary entry about the situation.

I think Dirt Devils are clean.

My little cute one is half full of dirt! But it's neatly packed away in a bag.

It's too bad he couldn't stay with the break until the finish today.

Too bad he can't take a medication to prevent him from crying.

I was looking for an answer that sounded more like "stay at home, don't work, but get paid."

Where's B'nB today?

There is a Curves near me.....the women's fitness chain. As hokey as it may seem I am considering joining has anyone actually joined and done the 30 min workout? Is it all weights? machines? What does it entail?

it is either that or Gold's. I can't afford Equinox right now even NYSC is a tad steep at this point.

Might of interest to 2 or 3 of you. It's kind of long, but whatever.

It is machines in a circle -- kind of circuit training. It is not bad, but a bit boring. Go look, and look at their website. I did it in Dallas for a while (it was 1 block from where I lived) and it is not a bad workout for staying in reasonable shape, and it's quick and absolutely brainless. It will not make you into an athelete by any means, but it doesn't seem like that's what you want. It really is 30 min, in and out -- basically the machines are all in a circle, and you switch machines at timed intervals (so it's like 30 sec or 60 sec or whatever of doing a given exercise, not X number of reps) -- there are 2 CDs playing, one of which beeps or something at each interval, and the other of which has music. There are also rest areas -- so like every 4 machines, you sit out one. You can start anywhere in the circuit and people are coming in and dropping out all the time. Unless all of the spots are full, there's no waiting, and even if there were waiting, you'd only have to wait until someone finished their 30 min.

How does that leave time for indoctrination?

Apropos of which, I've noticed that lots of baseball teams are "scuffling" lately, much more than before.

That's better than "grinding," which Tiger made popular and which I cannot tolerate.

Do banshees clean? I am not saying this to pick on you, but I have noticed a proliferation of "...like a banshee" in conversations and on television lately and I don't understand why. I thought the original metaphor was "scream like a banshee" because banshees are know for wailing, right? But "clean like a banshee" or "cook like a banshee" doesn't seem to make much sense.

Banshees wail. That's it.

I do not think Siouxie Sioux ever lifted a mop.
