• The doberman is huge. I mean huge.  But is as lovable as the day is long.
• The Family Pup, however, is not impressed.
• The Ticket had an amateur "Fight Night" last night in Dallas and one of the participants was Gabriel Thrasher of Decatur. He identified himself as 31 years old and a former linebacker from Midwestern State. He also won his fight.
• Got approached by a hard working Bridgeport Tea Party guy yesterday while on the courthouse square. Man, some of you guys hatred of the President reaches an unhealthy level.
• You'll see lots of headlines this morning that Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles. Not true. Some doping agency has made that pronouncement but they don't speak for the Tour.

• I never hear anyone talk about it, but the Smithsonian Channel is fantastic.
• C.J. Wilson got rocked again last night.  He has not obtained a win in his last eleven starts.
• Fuzzy's had a line a half a block long the other day at 11:30 a.m.  I'm not waiting that long for any food anywhere.
• TCU Cheerleaders.
• As I press the "publish" button, there is breaking news of multiple people shot at the Empire State Building.
