It is hard out here

We gonna go slow on the down low, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

I’ve said it before
Lance Armstrong was spotted with Paris Hilton in a Sunset Strip nightclub. Rumor has it they are an item. Apparently Lance is just nut about her.

Tisk, tisk, Sir
President Bush nominated Mary Peters as the nation's transportation secretary. There was an embarrassing moment at the announcement when President Bush couldn’t stop giggling and saying “Her last name is Peters.”

Suggestions
Katie Couric is asking for suggestions from the public for her sign off. Is that a good idea? She is going to get a lot of calls for “I’m Katie Couric and here are my breasts.”

A little awkward
Bill Ford stepped down as CEO of Ford. It was a little awkward, after Ford made his big announcement, Ford got into his Mustang for a dramatic exit and it didn’t start.


Are you ready for some felons?
The NFL season started last night. Good thing, the police are getting exhausted.

The NFL regular season starts tomorrow and already the New York Jets are mathematically eliminated from making the playoffs.

The San Diego Charger linebacker, Steve Foley, was shot by an off duty policeman in the hand and twice in his thigh. So Foley can’t use his hand and one leg rendering him useless this season to everyone but the New York Jets.

Clunker
NBC aired the movie “Behind the Camera, The Unauthorized Story of “Diff’rent Strokes.” What’s next? “The Unauthorized Story of “Saved by the Bell?” What was Screech really like to work with?

Imagine that?
We’re finding out more about the arrested polygamist Warren Steed Jeffs. Did you know that he inherited 12 of his 70 wives from his Dad? 12 of his wives used to be his step-mother. Man, my Dad wouldn’t let me use his razor.

The guy has 70 wives. His honey-do list has to be a nightmare. He wants to go to prison to get out of his to-do lists.

Good for her
Kirstie Alley has lost 75 pounds by being on Jenny Craig.75 pounds. That’s like losing both Olsen twins.

Kirstie Alley has lost 75 pounds by being on Jenny Craig. And Vince Vaughn has lost 20 pounds by being on Jennifer Anniston.

Same thing
Andre Agassi retired from the U.S. Open. Agassi was a great champion but his back just couldn’t take it anymore. It’s the same reason Al Reynolds is leaving Star Jones.

Two charges
An Amtrak passenger traveling with her sick father waited 23 hours and 1,000 miles to tell authorities he died so she could avoid the cost of shipping the body. She could be charged with unlawfully transporting a corpse and her father could be charged with impersonating Al Gore.


Since you asked
So I wanted to rest up before our big gig tonight. (Any locals, we, the Railheads, are playing at the Del Dios Country Store at 8:00 PM, so stop on by. I play the harmonica) So I, with my “work” done, e-mails answered, invoices sent, I actually see a rare window of opportunity for that all-too elusive treasure: time for a nap.

Drapes drawn, "Sports Illustrated" in hand, I lie down to read and snooze and nothing. Not even that jerky thing your body does before you drift off.

Man, do I feel like an underachiever. I try to do the laziest activity on the planet and I failed.
