This is one of the most exciting things I've seen. Ever. The French eat a little crow as Lezak comes from behind and out-touches Bernard by 8/100's of a second. I think what makes it more incredible is that not only did the US shatter the previous world record in the process (by almost 4 seconds), but the next five teams to touch the wall also came in under world-record time. Better, stronger, faster ... this is a new age of swimming ya'll.

Can we really make the claim that Phelps is "the fastest swimmer ever?" In one sense, yes, of course we can: He's got the fastest times. Duh. But the times are only half the story here. Is it possible to make any sort of meaningful comparison between Phelps and great swimmers of the past, people like Spitz, or my personal idol as a kid Matt Biondi.

When I drove by Camden Yards late last night on my way back from DC I thought I could sense something bloody had just occurred.

If you happen to be standing outside of our apartment door on a Sunday afternoon between now and February 4th, you may be shocked to hear the sound of a female voice shouting furious words at some unlucky SOB. Don't be concerned. The threats are meaningless. And that unlucky SOB is not me. It's the TV set. C and I are just watching a little of the football.

One of the things I did while I was in Costa Rica take some surfing lessons. Well, I'm happy to report that I'm now a surfing sensation in the country.

Around the time my brain had done it's 723rd push-up, my body finally declared that enough was enough, damnit, and demanded some sleep.

I've been swimming at the Y lately. Yes, the YMCA. Dig it.

Hosting the open mic jam at Pharaoh's has become a regular thing for The Jones. I have to say that it's becoming one of my favorite things to do.

I've always fancied myself an aficionado of the pop culture, particularly of any variety born or raised in the 80s or 90s. And while I'm not the encyclopedia of information that my friend Mitch is, I am, perhaps, something of an abridged coffee-table reference. Or maybe a pocket dictionary.

A man and a woman are in the lingerie section at Macy's. It seems like they've been shopping for a while. Maybe it's undershirts that bring them to this particular location in the mall. Or bras . . .

I'm sweating just reading the re-cap.

And I had such high hopes for this season. Mile high hopes.

It's important to recognize patterns in your life. Because once you've determined a pattern exists, you can try to figure out what it means. Right now, I'm puzzling over this one: with a few exceptions, I've spent my entire life in NFC East cities.

I thought all Superbowl half-time shows would be forever eclipsed by the heavy flop of Janet Jackson's pasty-clad boob. Not so.
