First, thanks to for posting yesterday's MOTD. My eye is feeling better now, the patch is off, and the flashes are almost gone (I hope).

As for , I wonder when he left on his Italian vacation, as I saw in the paper yesterday that on Thursday he appeared live on the Today Show, leading an outdoor exercise class. I missed it, as I never watch that show in the mornings unless there's someone on I want to see, and I didn't hear him mentioned in any of the commercials for the show earlier in the week. Oh, well. I'll catch him next time. When the new videos come out he'll be *everywhere*!

In other news, I read that has signed a deal with Sirius Satellite radio to host a program starting in October. It'll be 3 HOURS of answering listener mail and giving advice. Anyone know how much this radio service costs? A radio itself is about $100, isn't it? Then add $50/month for the service? Sorry, . Can't afford you.

Ah, I just found his page on the Sirius site:
