- Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett dies at 60. Syd Barrett, one of the original members of legendary rock group Pink Floyd, has died at the age of 60 from complications arising from diabetes. Too young I think...
- Bombs raining down on Beruit as I type. Israel was serious, it seems. You know, I think Israel shows considerable restraint. They leave Gaza, and the terrorists just move the rocket launchers closer to Israel and launch rockets. It's like the terrorists aren't even interested in peace.

- I didn't watch much "Felicity," but Keri Russell is now a CoverGirl. And she didn't even have to win America's Next Top Model to do it. Can you imagine the tears Keri Russell would shed being shredded by Janice Dickenson?

- Look who is getting a long weekend off... Michelle Wie! She hit bushes and trees, water and weeds. Michelle Wie hit them wide right and left, long and short, everywhere but the fairway. She let out an "argh!" as a tee shot sailed off to the right, into the trees. And she put her right hand over her mouth as another floated wide right, this time landing on a hill. Ah, I was cheering her on. She would've been the first woman since 1945 to make a PGA Tour event. I think it's great she gave it a go.
- The market could open ugly tomorrow. The war is escalating. The worry will be oil. Of course. If you want to help, don't drive so much. Conserve.
- Another one. Red Buttons, the carrot-topped burlesque comedian who became a top star in early television and then won a 1957 Oscar with a surprising dramatic turn in "Sayonara," died Thursday. He was 87.
- It took a long time for me to come up with my Black Box market timing system. Want to take a peak at the inner workings?
- Hey, it's after midnight! G'night!
