Lance on "Imus in the Morning"

Lance acquitted himself very well this morning during an interview by
the embalmed corpse who wears a cowboy hat.

Imus did a pretty good interview. A lot about his cancer, because Don
sponsors a camp for kids with cancer.

Lance observed that this year's Tour was "a bit TOO exciting".

Interesting. He talked about being a dad, doing the next TDF, how the people
in France treated him - they loved him this year.

What's his book about anyway? I've only heard the title "Every Second
Counts."

Well..I just got it over the weekend. Birthday present (Whee)

[from the liner notes]
"...addresses the equally daunting challenge of living in the aftermath of
this experience and making the most of every breath of life.
Armstrong candidly discusses his prickly relationship with the French and
the ultimately disproved accusations of doping within his Tour de France
team, and he writes about his recent achievements, including celebrating
five years of cancer survival and how he restored a magnificent chapel in
his beloved Spain."

There's an excerpt on the eponymous website.
He likes to dive off a high ledge into a quarry pond (ooh, just
like in "Breaking Away"!!) on his farm. And his local pards call him
"Mellow Johnny" which is presented as a Texas pronounciation of that
colored shirt deal thing in that off-shore bike race.

Lance certainly has a poise and presence. Even though I heard the
interview live, I, too, enjoyed seeing it again at the URL posted;
that was nice.

I was struck during the Tour at the way Lance stood out with his easy
self-assurance, handling even stupid questions with courtesy and
respect, and giving well-worded answers.

I'm sure he'll remain in the public eye long after he's left
professional cycling.

What's his book about anyway?

I think it's about the bike.
