My thanks to Debra Joseph, Director of the Fredericksburg Area SPCA for joining me on the big broadcast this morning for the Denny's Furry friends segment. I am happy to say she will be joining me every Friday morning at approximately 8:35 from here on in. Remember to check out our homeless animal of the week, Pat the Cat. For more information, click on the Denny's Furry Friends link.

Former call girl, Asley Dupree has agreed to sit down (Sit Down?? That's a switch for her, isn't it??) with Diane Sawyer tonight on ABC's 20/20. I will be watching.

OK, here we go. You might remember about a year or so ago, Southwest Airlines came under fire when they starting charging passengers who were too obese to fit in to one seat, double the fare. Well, yesterday, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that obese people have the right to 2 airline seats for the prices of one.

As usual, I have a few questions. Does this work both ways? In other words, suppose you have 2 extremely skinny people who can both fit into the same seat? Does that mean they both get to fly for half-price? Better yet, if Matt Roloff (the dwarf) flys, he could probably fit into the overhead compartment. Could he fly for free? I think I have too much time on my hands to ponder things like this. What do you think?

Join me Monday morning when it will be Pete Best's birthday. He'll be 67. For those of you who might not know, Pete was the original drummer for The Beatles who left the group just before they hit it big in 1967. The good news: After years of working as a civil servant, Best finally made millions when the Beatles "Anthology" albums were released in 1995. Not only that, but now, he finally has groupies. Unfortunately, at this point they're all 60 years old.

Have a great weekend!
