- Trying like hell to "get up" for this Derby, but it just seems too fake. It will be like a weird dream to see it without fans in . . . September. Oddly, I've had weird dreams ( CALL BACK!! ) about the Derby before. No one is there. The horses are flying around the track like NASCAR. There's a spinout and crash that results in the tragic loss of half the field. Anyhow, those dreams will seem more real than what's going to take place Saturday.
- I can tell a lot about a person just on the way they pronounce, "often." If you're throwing that hard "T" in there, I can't take anything else you say seriously.
- Because of the age of my kids, I've had to watch various episodes of "Raven's Home" on Teen Disney. She may be the biggest over-actor in history. Hope she wins her Emmy for best actress in a daytime pre-teen comedy. She's earned it. Sheesh.
- I'm finally toward the back-end of Season 2 for "Breaking Bad." I can tell this is where it began hitting its stride, I suppose. I know Cranston gets the deserved credit for portraying Walter White, but Aaron Paul's portrayal of Pinkman is intriguing and complex.

- Here's hoping someone's opinion will save the world this weekend! And if not, at least shame the hell out of the doubters. We need a hero!
