Loose Items

Here are some loose items from a tight leaf notebook:

- With his injuries Ben Ben seems to be the Steelers version of Mario Lemieux. First the legs, the thumb and now the appendicitis, it's only a matter of time before the back starts acting up. Of course, if he brings home multiple championships like Mario, the injuries will all be forgotten.

- I think after years of being tormented by Steve Irwin, the animal kingdom held a secret conclave and nominated the stingray to take him out..

- I just watched Katie Couric on her first newscast. She did fine, but I'm wait until I see how she handles a national tragedy before I have a final opinion.
