Wow! Lance’s bike was stolen, then recovered.
But the chamois cream king has had a boatload of booty stolen. $100,000 in bikes alone. Olympic awards and a Hellboy statue! Whoa.

The Associated Press: Health care costs to top $8,000 per person
I’ve been waiting since forever for some news article to print an actual number. Most articles say “cost is high” or “costs out of control” or something like that without actually putting a hard number down on paper. But this number seems to be within [...]

What an awesome race. Really spectacular.
IMO, Stage 7 was the most exciting with the final circuits around Pasadena.
Mad props to the whoever put together the Tour Tracker. It sure would be nice to have that for all the races. I’d even pay for that. Compared with what I heard (and saw) from the Versus coverage, [...]

If he’d been in cycling, he’d have gotten a lifetime ban by now. They’re testing Armstong every eight days, on average, and hasn’t been positive yet. MLB has some splainin to do.
Really, it’s the difference between a very powerful players union (baseball) and [...]

I re-joined the dart league again. I didn’t know until after the season ended in December that there even was a second season or even about the banquet thing until, like, a week or so before it happened.
I’m not quiet sure how I feel about doing it again, it may have been a mistake. But [...]

Former President Bush.
Sounds good, doesn’t it?

I was at the food store today and noticed the shopping carts had cup holders.
