10 Questions

Couple of random questions I have been contemplating for some time and thought I'd throw out to the group.

10. Will Apple EVER put out a firmware upgrade for this damn iphone? For a company that develops the coolest products ever, they aren't enormously customer friendly (though in fairness to them, they are being awesome about taking back problem units -- not that I have been having any problems with mine. Knock on wood.)

9. Why is Lance the only celebrity out there who's *really* pushing to make cancer top of mind? Lance is just awesome. He was my hero before but now that we have this shared "bond" so to speak, I like him even that much more. Though he's cured, he's nver forgotten his cancer roots. I also love the challenge he's set forth to the presidential candidates. Go Lance Go.

8. Are the Harry Potter books worth it? I mean -- are they *really* entertaining for adults, or do adults just like to say as much?

7. Now that the Soprano's is over, what do you think is pound for pound, the best show on TV? Not HBO, but all of TV. My vote goes to Entourage or The Office. Maybe American Idol. And of course, there is always 24. See how hard this is?

6. Will Michigan win the Big Ten this year and finally shake the Ohio State monkey? This is the first but certainly not last time you will hear about Michigan football. Trust me: this subject will probably bore you to pieces, ala my Tour de France blogging.

5. Speaking of which, will Contador and Levi take it to Rasmussen on Wednesday and if so, will he crack? Great stage of racing today. Contador took it to him and though they finished together, Rasmussen showed signs of cracking. This race will go down as an all-time classic and Contador is my new favorite athlete.

4. Will Bonds be booed or cheered when he hits his record setting home run? I hope booed. I also hope that I catch one of his homers at the game tomorrow night. I will be sitting in the bleachers with the family and Camp Doodles campers and I might have to bring the old glove to this one.

3. Will my kids ever go one freaking hour without having some sort of massive screaming fest?

2. Will Mark Philipoussis pick a "cougar" or one of the young girls?

1. WIll my father ever again write a guest column? It's come to the point where I am fairly certain he's avoiding my calls. Dust off the pen, old man...........
