"Floyd should play those poker games on television. He gives nothing away with that face."
Phil Liggett's Quote of the Day

Congratulations to Donna's Boy Floyd. It was great to see his ride today. Refreshing. I get all hot and bothered seeing USA in that lead group. You better believe I want this US Cycling to do well this year whether its Floyd, Levi, etc. I feel like a broken record, but I still get crap for cheering for Amish Landis. I LOVE Floyd's silver Elvis Oakleys. Those are freaking sweet. Maybe he can score a better looking kit now. I just saw him signing the yellow jerseys and his 'graph is pretty cool. I took a handwriting analysis course for 2 semesters and if what I learned is true, he's probably a pretty cool guy. I totally gained a lot of love for him in the last 4 minutes. Cool. Maybe he'll shave the 'stache. It creeps me out a bit. Hmmm. Donna is a smart girl. Floyd also looks great it yellow. It makes him glow like he's expecting. How lovely for him.

A hardy WELCOME BACK is also in order for Mr. Levi. It was good to see him out front today and to see him working it at the finish. We missed you big guy, good work.

The Boogie Man did a great set up for the leads today. Never forget the Boogie Man, he does phenomenal work. Do you think his teeth were done by the Muppet Workshop?

Looks like Georgie Porgie may have had the shellfish for dinner last night. Not sure what's going on with him, but look where Levi was yesterday vs. today. 24 hours can make a big difference for sure. I'm not done with him. You'd better believe I'm going to get the scoop on that one from the Blobstack this afternoon.

Over six hours in the saddle. Wow. That's a long day in the mountains. I think these are the names we're going to hear a lot: Landis, Leipheimer, Sastre, Menchov, Evans. . .. and its getting good, folks. Maybe GH is waiting to show off for me in the flesh. That wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Ok – the big story? NO BLAZERS! NO FREAKING BLAZERS! Thank you thank you thank you to whoever is responsible. Bob is on FIRE without the blazer. It cramped his style. I'm a big fan of the casual look. Everyone start writing emails to

olntv.com about the positive change. What a lovely surprise. I was up at two this morning – couldn't sleep – so I called Bob and he was surprised I wasn't drunk and made no mention whatsoever of the Blazerless Thursday. Maybe he didn't know it was coming.

Well – I start traveling tomorrow. I'll keep you posted as best I can . . . .promise . . .

This one's for you Bernie! This is a picture of me, Billy Biker Boy and DICK LEINENKUGEL.

My husband and him keep in touch. Dick is getting some decals made up for Bill's beanbag boards. Don't ask guys, it keeps him out of the bars.
