Hello. Tom Cruise was on the Late Show last night. I bring this up because I could hear the fans and the photographers screaming his name from the street. And I’m 14 floors up! I bet his life is so crazy. Anyway, let me tell you this — even from 14 floors up, he’s still sexy. Can I get an Amen from the ladies? “Amen!” Thank you.I rushed home last night, got on my bike and took off. I love that bike! I’m always in motion. Slow or fast. I like going slow over curbs because it gives me some resistance. I need to find a path away from the city. I want to go and go — not stop, go, stop, go.

While I was out, I called up my webmaster/friend, Walter and we finally got the chance to do his experiment in stupidity. I talked about this last week. He’s on the NY side of the Hudson and I’m on the NJ side. Using cell phones, street savvy and camera flashes we each try and locate each other. I was doubtful that we’d be able to find each other. Walter calls me and tells me to describe what’s behind me. I tell him and I flash my camera — he sees me!

That’s a rough Idea of where I was. It’s hard to zero in with a point and shoot camera. And here’s my view of Walter.

Pretty cool, right? Hello? Well, I thought it was exciting. OK, we’re idiots! Happy?! For our next experiment we’re going to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge — just to see who hits first.

I got my credit card bill yesterday. Damn, Priceline.com and buying the bike really snuck up on me. Oh well. OK, I think that’s enough for a Tuesday. If you just joined BobBorden.com, don’t forget to check out yesterday’s and all my previous diaries. Yesterday alone — I changed a tire, bought a tire for $20 and was called an Asshole by a police officer. And you thought my life was boring, HA! That’s it! Have a great day. God Bless America.
