Tour de France Bliss

Tomorrow, the Tour de France begins. We'll kick it off with French Toast for the 8:30 broadcast. This is a fun three weeks for our family. It has already started off crazy with nine contenders exiting the competition due to the Spain doping scandal. It is disappointing to lose some top cyclists to these accusations. If proved to be innocent, it is costly timing of this.

I am delighted the Floyd Landis, George Hincappie, and Levi Leipheimer have greater chances of finishing in the front now. That makes it more exciting for me. I am cheering for Americans this year, and the Discovery Team. Kind of a splintered loyalty, but it broadens my chances of having more fun watching.

I've already seen funny commercials and enjoyed some broadcasting from Phil, Paul, and Bob. Since I met Paul and Bob in February at the Tour of California, it is even more fun to watch them. We saw Hincappie, Landis, and Leipheimer, too. Makes it all more real!

Who will wear yellow in Paris in three weeks?
