[rant] Newspapers are severely lacking in the creativity dept. these days, and although one could argue that's not thier gig, todays headline (in both Chi-town papers) read "Thanks for the Memories" (jeez... you could see that coming about 50 years ago...) and the sports pages read (for the fifth year in a row) "tour de Lance". C'mon...  [/rant]

The Ithaca paper had "Thanks for the Memories", too.
Anybody's paper didn't?

Nancy, that bears repeating, so I did.
And, AnnaS, yes, how very.
And, Musick, shame to think that journalism might have become a cliche. [Too lazy this morning to go retrieve the accent--and I don't have that number thing on this laptop, so, believe me, I really have to put forth some effort to retrieve an accent.]

Just off the top of my head, this old editor would have considered: Lance wins the lot Lance sticks it out to win no no never mind  or Hope is eternal
