Idle

The viewing audience is down...way down...partly because there are way too many "singing audition shows" out there...partly because it is old hat...and, partly because the new judging panel is perfectly awful...gone is the wonderful JLo...gone is the pouty Simon...the 2 new ladies bicker over nothing...and are annoying...Dog has been there too long...the lone salvation is Keith Urban, who shows positive life and fun...American Idol...BUT...it is about the talent...and this show seems to still find the kids who have it...the journey is TV long...too many shows like the last 2 nights...I tape it and watch it all in about 2 hours (both of them)...

Did you watch the Oprah interview of Lance Armstrong?...man oh man...I think he thought that if he used her, he could dodge what sports writers would ask...ha ha...so wrong...Oprah knows here stuff and is the best at what she does...he got grilled and drilled...and he came out of it, just the way he is...there was a follow up show on CNN and had some of the people on it that he dissed...very bad bloke...

The Clippers played very poorly at Minnesota...and yet still got another W...against them Wolves...lucky, that's who they were playing...and the Lake Show got beat at home to the Heat...expected...as they plummet to new depths...much to the delight of most of the country...especially those of you in the PNW...

Any news on the Ducks?...I have seen nothing down here about the new HC...BUT...the city of Philly is going bonkers on Chip...probably the most excited of all new hires...did you see the infamous Norvy was hired at Cleve as their OC?...good luck on that...2nd and 9...raving genius...and the Bolts hired the recently fired boss of Arizona, Ken Whisenhunt, as their OC...geez, these guys just get passed around like pawns...they always have jobs waiting for them...I think the Eagles have the number 4 in the draft...have to think that Chip wants a mobile, young QB...

Reading a new book...novel called "The Third Bullet"...you are going to say, been there, done that...well, it is fascinating and has got me...you know, about the JFK assassination...

Playing in a tourney tomorrow that you have only 3 clubs and a putter...pretty much what I do every time out...ha ha...driver, 7 iron, and wedge...
