It's official - Lance retires with #7

Lance Armstrong has won his 7th Tour de France. Almost had a wipeout apparently when three of his teammates when down on rain-slick road. Armstrong apparently braked hard and slid into them, but didn't go down.

Good for him. I think the yellow bracelet idea was brilliant and am pleased to see an athlete give back so much. I think he is a true role model.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

I'm glad that he's "one" again, as well He won for himself and for those who are devastated when they get the cancer diagnosis. It's great that he set a new record and God bless him.

Who also owns one of those yellow bracelets that one of her students recently gave her during an oral biographical book report on Lance Armstrong. (Yes, she got an A+
