Have you ever been to the Betty Ford Center? I have. For someone else. Really. I know you don't believe that but really. It's very nice to make my first personal glimpse at rehab. I have been feeling totally out of the loop because I don't know Lindsay Lohan. But I have seen her father on Celebrity Rehab. Now I am part of the It crowd. Well sorta. Not staying 28 days. Don't know the serenity prayer. Anyhow, Betty Ford is really nice and not at all what I expected. There are a million doctors and psychiatrists and psychologists and specialists. They are all very nice. The place is gorgeous, with manicured grounds sporting a desert chic vibe. That's all you need to know. Do not go there.

This is a picture of Joshua Tree National Park. I did not take it. I wanted to use a picture of the landscaping at Betty Ford but they are very very private. Anyhow, the landscaping has this feeling. Also we drove by Joshua Tree on the way there.

Just so you know about sports and Philadelphia. If we are not in the game it does not exist. Take today's playoffs. This is what The Philadelphia Inquirer has to say about football today:

  1. If the Eagles had lost in the same situation that the Packers had, we would not be happy campers. Think effigy burnings. Especially of Juan Castillo (although I think he is underrated. So sue me). In Green Bay they're, like, go get 'em next year.
  2. Joe Paterno is not dead (he is).
  3. The defense is too small.
  4. Oh, yeah, here is the line on today's playoffs.
Of course, football will be back on February 5th when we break out the Cheez Whiz. Throw a jar of salsa in with it. Throw jar of salsa at TV. It's all good.
