Oh, and buy my exercise video too!

I'm weaning myself off the painkillers from Wednesday's surgery and things are still a little bit hazy. I'm not seeing huge rabbits or anything, but because of that, I have to preface this with a disclaimer. "I might have been dreaming this."

I was home having breakfast this morning, watching CNBC when they break in with a live news conference between President Bush and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who earlier in the week said the U.S. threatened to bomb his country.

At the news conference, Bush says he remembers no such conversation and the Pakistani says -- and this is close to a quote -- "I'm under contract to Simon and Schuster and can not comment on this until the book is released."

I'd like to think I dreamed it but, unfortunately, I didn't.

What's next? Hordes of people waiting outside Barnes & Noble for the State of the Union to arrive?
