Dear iPod Godz,

I know I have taken my iPod for granted in the past. In many ways, having an iPod is like having a huge and glorious phallus. You only appreciate the luxury when someone takes it away from you. And someone, or more specifically my own carelessness, has taken my iPod away. I think it was Friday night. I was rushing home from work to relieve the nanny, and I think my precious iPod may have fallen from my pocket as I got out of the taxi. I have looked everywhere with no luck thus far. I am really down to one last hope, the edit room at work. Even if that is where I left it, it would take a miracle for it to still be there after a weekend and a day. But iPod Godz, I know that's an area you specialize in, miracles. You bring my entire music collection, humble though it may be, to my ears every day on my way to work. Miracle, right there. So if you come through for me this one more time, I will be an Apple user for life.

Thank you,

Hans Q. Bungle

P.S. Anyone else who might have an idea where it could be, please chime in. It's not:
-in my coat
-in my bag
-in any drawers
-between the couch cushions
-on any counters in my house
-in a tree

Is it just me, or is Jerome Bettis getting annoying? I say this as someone who's been a Bettis fan since the first time I saw him pulverizing would-be tacklers at Notre Dame. But it's time for him to step out of the spotlight already. He's fat, he's only effective about half the time, I don't even think he's that great a short yardage guy at this point. I'd like to see him win the Super Bowl but I'd also like to see less of him in general.
