Bernie,

I am already being a bit of a PITA to my family, and will have to try harder to be nice to them. All in all, it's not so bad except for the boring part of having to be around the house all day.

Man, between Evans, Rogers, and Mc Ewen, Australia is still going great guns this year. Good luck to you guys on a possible 1st time win.

My thought is that at this point is that Floyd is taking things very cautiously - perhaps too cautiously. Today is, I believe, THE tough stage, not yesterday, and we will finally see who REALLY wants to win this TdF. Still WAY too many possible contenders after no one really made a statement yesterday for me to predict a winner anymore. Today should tell though.

My boy George faded, but hopefully he and Popovych and the rest of Discovery will put up a better effort and move up in the standings somewhat in the waning days. Lance's shoes were pretty big to fill so soon perhaps.

Cheers!
Dave
