Brendan's hours and hours of cycling finally pays off--for me.

Brendan called me a few days ago, and asked me if I wanted to meet Floyd Landis in a couple of weeks because Floyd's coach, Robbie Ventura (okay, why do I know these things?) started Vision Quest which is this training program Brendan's been doing for the Ironman.

So, apparently before Floyd blew up in Stage 16, and had a massive unprecedented comeback in Stage 17--broken hip and all--Brendan got the opportunity to sign up and go meet him.

(I'm waiting for the fact that when you win things like the Tour de France, you have better things to do than go hock some buddies' training thing--like pose for the cover of Sports Illustrated, Wheaties boxes, hip surgery, and and make a lot of money with endorsements...so my guess is he'll divorce his wife, start dating Sheryl Crow, and cancel this appearance...but until then...)

Anyway, probably none of you thinks that this is cool...because he's not Lance Armstrong. But, I'm a little sick of Lance Armstrong b/c I sometimes think he's a little too close to talking about himself in the third person. I know he tries to be humble, but you can almost see his lips saying Lance, before he starts a sentence. And then the whole thing with hanging out with new BFFs Matthew McConaughey and Jake Gyllenhal--(THOSE names shockingly hard to spell). I'm just waiting for the wedding to Lindsey Lohan.

But he IS running the NYC marathon. So, I guess he's still my peeps.

But, anyway...I'm psyched to meet Floyd Landis and his new girlfriend, Sheryl...and that could maybe go a little ways to making up for the fact that HGTV has STILL not responded to tell me if we've been cancelled. Maybe the original tape just got lost when they sent our episode in for an Emmy.
