Hate Mail

yourblog2

OMG y’all, I got my first hate mail today!   How fabulous.  Afterall, as a blogging friend, Raincoaster, just told me “In this business, you’re nobody till somebody with poor English skills hates you!”

Well, I guess that means this little Bee is finally somebody!!!! I received hate mail, with poor spelling!  How fantastic!

I must say, receiving mail from readers is thrilling, that means that people are reading the Busy Bee Blogger.  :-)   So I had to write her back to thank her.

Keep those letters coming!   I love my readers

Lance Armstrong

johan-lance

As you know by now, Lance Armstrong broke his right collar bone (clavicle) and is out of the Castilla y Leon 5 day race in Spain.

Tonight, he is having wine and cheese with Team Astana coach Johan Bruyneel (above pic) and then off to bed. That boy is in some pain and must be tired and frustrated.

In response to the crash Lance had this to say via the Astana Team site

Additional Comments from Lance Armstrong from Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valladolid where a fracture of the middle third of the right collar bone was diagnosed:

- How did the crash happen?

“At the end of the race, people started to get a bit excited to win the race. Everybody wanted to be in the front and couple of guys crashed in front of me, crossed the wheels and I hit them over the top. It happens quick when it happens. It could have been worse, I suppose. I have road rash abrasions on right hip and arm but the big problem is the broken collarbone. I never had this before. It is pretty painful. Now we must have to see how it heals. I will go back to the US and there we will decide on surgery.”

- You must be very disappointed. Is the Giro participation in jeopardy?

“I am very disappointed. Very. Especially for the Giro. Now the biggest problem is the pain. It hurts. We will see. The guys in the hospital in Valladolid were great and very nice and helpful. But now I feel miserable. I need to relax a couple of days, fix the problem and make a plan. I hope I can tell you more about the Giro in a week.”

- You almost never crash.

“I was thinking the same thing in the hospital that this never happened in my 17 years of pro cycling. That’s cycling. It’s nobody’s fault. Crashes happen all the time. It is part of the job.”

If you want to send well wishes you can send them to LiveStrong’s Twitter, and if you tag it #livestrong it will be posted on their blog as well!

Pics are from today’s race in Spain, and of Lance leaving the hospital.

Beware of Blog Smog

As most of you lovely readers know, I spend a good amount of time sitting here making sure you get the best entertainment news, and gossip ;-) That means YOU probably spend a good amount of time at YOUR computer not talking to anyone for a fair amount of time.

Dentyne wants to remind all of us, even me, to make “Face Time” with real live people!!! And to get rid of the Blog Smog breath.
