Kamay sa ilalim ng baba... PORMA!:

1. I have a boo boo in my bellybutton that, when I press, it makes me pee involuntarily.

2. This whole degenerative disc business has me worried about overall cartilage health. Since I can't take shellfish-based glucosamine, I'm in the market for vegan versions. Question is, do they work as well?

3. Robin Padilla must have the healthiest lungs and liver in the world.

4. Coron Island, ancestral land of the Tagbanwa, is the last frontier. You. Must. See. It.

5. I thought it was funny how managers (coaches) of professional baseball teams wear the same clothes/kit their players do -- as opposed to other professional sports where most managers are either in a suit or a tracksuit. Then I had a vision of Pat Riley wearing shorts, hightops and a sleeveless jersey yelling at the ref. Or an American football coach wearing tights.

6. Whatever it is, it should fold easily, and in seconds.

7. Fiction foreshadows reality.

8. More sports: you'd think "pinch hitter" and "dump" would be one of sports' worst-named positions, but I think "tight end" takes the medal. Maybe they should be playing at Hooker Field in Virginia, or, more famous, Taco Bell Arena.

9. Now that I am middle aged, I can be more cynical, if that's possible.

10. I've been asked to endorse a President for the U.S. I listened to Obama rally in Missouri and in the Pennsylvania pouring rain, and I was in tears. But, after taking the test at glassbooth.org, it seems Ralph Nader's my man.
