They call him Flipper, Flipper faster than lightening, no one you see, is smarter than he, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Not a good fit for her
Hillary Clinton has backed off from pushing for the job of Barack Obama’s running mate; Hillary realized that she has hated laboring underneath a man ever since her honeymoon with Bill.

Youch
The bank foreclosed on Evander Holyfield’s $10 mil Atlanta house; Evander thought it hurt when Mike Tyson bit a chunk out of his ear? Just wait until the IRS bites a chunk out of his ass.

And he deserved it
Yesterday, a surfer in San Diego found 70 pounds of marijuana on the beach and turned it over to police; today that surfer was given a civic commendation followed by a righteous beat-down by his fellow surfers.

Booze studies
A study reveals that ingredients in red wine may actually slow the aging process; in addition, ingredients in Jagermiester may speed up the sex process.

That’s the part he doesn’t like?
Reputed September 11th attack planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told a military judge that he would welcome the death penalty but that he strongly objects to being charged with impersonating Rosie O’Donnell.

New Post
John Edwards announced he has no interest in being chosen as a running mate for Barack Obama. If Obama wins the presidency, Edwards would, however, be interested in a cabinet position as the secretary of yummie.

We kid the Arkies
Good news, they fixed the busted toilet in the International Space Station. One more week without a toilet and they would have had to officially declare the space station part of Arkansas.

Different
In environmental news, an Italian composer is writing an Opera based on Al Gore’s documentary “Inconvenient Truth.” Now don’t confuse this with the Bill Clinton Opera, that one isn’t over until the fat intern sings.

Psycho babble
The new catch phrase is self-awareness. It’s good to be self-aware. Plus, according to a study, guys can reduce their chances of getting prostate cancer by being self-aware five times a week.

Yipes
A “Vanity Fair” article insinuates Bill Clinton, had an affair with actress Gena Gershon; if this is true it brings a whole new meaning to Gina’s cover shot on “Cigar Aficionado” magazine.

Since you asked:
It is Lex’s Fantasy Camp weekend so far. Friday had a good run and rested for a gig at the swanky Mira Mesa Inn. Picturing palm trees, exotic beautiful birds and strumming Spanish guitars, gorgeous senoritas carrying margaritas? Dial it down to pool tables, dart boards and a couple of tattooed babes filling pitchers with electric guitars and a harp whaling rockin’ blues and lots of folks dancing.

But it was a great crowd and the band, if I do say so, kicked ass. Sang my two songs, “Unchain My Heart” and “Love is Strong” in the first set and they went real well. Folks danced and clapped which is all we can ask for. Some real special moments during “Red House” and “LA Woman” and “Brown Sugar” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” We laid down the jam until midnight.

Then I got up at 5:30, made coffee and headed out to La Jolla Shores. It was perfect. Good sets of waist high. When I paddled out there were dolphins, or Dolphunskis, as I like to call them. There were a pair frolicking just fifteen feet away from me. It was amazing. I could not wipe the smile off of my face. The three of us playing together out in the ocean.

Had a good hour and a half session, a new personal record and I am beat. Ann Caroline and Virg have a daughter-Mommy pool party to go to and then a play date, so I am free to couch surf and watch Big Brown and my Cubbies while grilling Tri tip and drinking a couple of Maggies.

The Triple Crown excitement is great because it causes people to re-live or learn and see how truly magnificent Secretariat was. His 100-yard win performance at Belmont was awe inspiring. People there said there wasn’t a dry eye in the place as everyone suddenly became overwhelmed when they realized they were watching history, incredible athleticism to the point of perfection as well as beauty at a spiritual intensity.

Good luck Big Brown. But there is only one Secretariat.
