THE TOUGHEST GUY | 2006-12-31

Alan B. informs me that he was only joking when he said he envied the appointment I gave him.

Alan B. shot my ego trip down mercilessly.

But I didn't let it get to me. A couple of hours under the bed in fetal position and I was just fine.

I'm TOUGH.

In fact, if I win the lottery or something, I am going to pay to get Tom Brokaw to write a book about me called The Toughest Guy. That'll make it true. And I won't be the one who said it. Brokaw did.
