A "DIVERSION" PAGE

Those who know me well know that one of my favorite expressions is "Foo-Foo". When pressed for a definition once, I couldn't give one. It's not in the dictionary, but everyone's heard it. As a Supreme Court Justice once said on another topic, "I don't have a definition...but I know it when I see it."

I guess foo-foo can be the "popcorn" with the movie, or the "butter" on the popcorn. Anything that strays from the mundane. That's "foo-foo".

Is FooFoo hyphenated? Is it one word ... two words? Is it only a noun, or can someone be "foofoo'ed"? All good questions, I suppose, but I KNOW the following is GOOD FOO-FOO!

• I don't know about flavored coffee or bath bubbles, but they're foofooing (or should it be fumefumeing) in the hot tub at Camp David...and Maureen Dowd has the op-ed in the New York Times. If you need a "logon" -- go ahead and sign up. It's free, and an easy way to read the NYT.

• As a broadcast sports producer for the greatest part of my adult life, I'm often asked what is my favorite event. Well, it's the College World Series in Omaha. And, this year, the Texas Longhorns were there, and darned if they didn't win the whole thing!! Check out their story on another fine 'self-serving' site, GoHorns.com. Drop me some thoughts on this 'new' site.
