Watson, A-Rod & Large People On Planes

My thanks to all of you who showed up for the Walk For the Animals at Maury Field this Saturday for the benefit of the Fredericksburg SPCA. Watson The Wonder Dog did well. He was great for the first mile. The second mile, not so good. Several times along the route of the second and last mile, he just laid down and refused to move. He had enough. He kept looking up at me and Rae like, "What are we doing here? What is the point of all this?" He finally made through the entire walk, but he was the LAST dog back to the field. We're proud of him nevertheless. They had several activities for the dogs, including a chance for them to create a painting (sort of a finger-painting kind of thing, or more to the point, paw-painting). Here's Watson's painting.


Alright, he's not exactly Bob Ross. Whadda want from me?

Sports news: Over the weekend, the New York Slimes (I'm sorry, the New York Times) reported that Major League Baseball will NOT punish Alex Rodriquez after it's completing it's investigation into whether or not he lied about using performance-enhancing drugs. I guess they figured, "Hey, the guy dated Madonna, so he suffered enough."

DEATH AT THE WEATHER CHANNEL

Frank Batten died over the weekend. He's the guy who started the Weather Channel.

He came up with the idea for an all-weather channel because he liked to fall asleep with the TV on. I find it ironic that his last name is Batten........as is "Batten down the hatches".

Happy Birthday today to Jon "Bowser" from Sha Na Na. He's 62 today. Also the lovely Joey Heatherton. She's 65 (How depressing is that?), and Amy Winehouse is 26 today.

For those of you familiar with her, you know it's amazing that she made it this far.

WOW! Did we hit a nerve with you guys this morning?! The story about the guy who was charged double on Southwest Airlines because he was so large set off a firestorm of calls. I thank all of you who called and I know many of you were not able to get through, so we'll give you one more chance tomorrow morning. Talk to you then.
