This is the 2nd time around that I’m missing the Calgary Stampede. At least there isn’t an onslaught of entertainers that I’d like to see. The only ones I’d be interested in are David Usher, Strada, Rooney and Terri Clark. Yes, I said Terri Clark. I used to be a country fan, m’k?

And I’d like to say how proud I am of Paula. She’s officially making more money than I am, and quite possibly will be saving more money than I can. I may hound her like a dog for follow-through, but only because I know what she’s capable of.

Sorry I’m not there this time ’round, Paulie. We’ll have fun at Stampede ‘06 though, m’k?

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Police say three lions rescued a 12-year-old girl kidnapped by men who wanted to force her into marriage, chasing off her abductors and guarding her until police and relatives tracked her down in a remote corner of Ethiopia.
