According to www.sunrisesunset.com, If DST starts in March next year, sunrise in New Orleans on the first day will be at 7:22am, that's 20 minutes before I leave for work. The end of November is even worse, with sunrise at 7:34.

Is it more attractive at more Northern latitudes?

I'm downtown but I still have a nice open view of the river, Jersey, tall buildings, a couple parks, and the dome of an architecturally significant building from the turn of the century. Plus the exposure gives great sunlight but doesn't broil the office in the afternoon. I like the view a lot. But I think I'm going to shut myself up in the library for the afternoon.

I think that I will have mac and cheese, possibly some sort of vegetable accompaniment.

Best baseball injury of the early season?

Denver (AP) -- Colorado Rockies outfielder Dustan Mohr was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained left calf, an injury that occurred during the team's victory celebration in its season opener. As the players charged to the field to celebrate Clint Barmes' winning two-run homer that led Colorado to a 12-10 comeback victory Monday, Mohr was injured while jumping out of the Rockies' dugout.

I have already had a diet shake, but I think that will count as a snack rather than lunch. I am tempted to go get Popeye's.

I'm having a Southwest Tuna Wrap from ABP with chips and a mysterious soda. I actually think they put the diet Pepsi syrup in with the diet lemon-lime, since just water came out of the Pepsi one and what I got out of the lemon-lime one is brownish, but still reasonably tasty.

I may go crazy and have BK for the second time this week.

Okay, I need Ted C Blind Item help. This just feels like something actually work-outable:

until quite recently, Toothy Tile was dating his superpopular, superannoyingly perfect girlfriend. Not boyfriend.

Tile and his man-amigo, who extended his hands flat on the marble table (yes, that's a hint) until they were intertwined with Tile's.

Tile's famous ex knew, deep down, way below her doable dimples, what Tile really wanted (hence, the breakup)

A very promising young actor who has been the subject of two Blind Vices in this very column, I'm told by mutual friends and sources, is preparing to come out of the closet, which will--thanks to backward, provincial America--permanently alter this talented man's career

Dear Ted:
Are you seriously telling me no one has guessed the identity of Toothy Tile from One Adorable Blind Vice and last week's Whoa, Nellie! item? It is Michael Vartan, of course. His Jennifer moved on up--it is so obvious.

Dear Detective Dummy:
If it's so obvious, sugar-smooch, why is it then not the Alias hunk? Think less established and far less sure of himself. Meanwhile, the randy guesses have been rocketing in like you wouldn't believe!

Dear Ted:
I have no real idea 'bout the closet mystery dude, but I thought I'd throw some names at you anyhow: Orlando Bloom or he-man Vin Diesel?

Dear Ted:
I'm all about the gay blind vice; nothing like a little sexual confusion to get a girl going in the morning. The last few weeks have been driving me insane to the point that I've been enlisting the help of fellow gossip hounds to try and solve it. I've got a feeling Toothy Tile is Elijah Wood.

Great guesses, girlfriends! But as I'm sure you're getting an inkling right about now, neither of you hit the jumpin' jackpot. The correct cutie who's thinkin' about pulling an Anne Heche (before she decided she wasn't gay, that is) is right smack between Mr. Bloom and Mr. Wood--where he just might like to be, come to think of it.

Also, why is this captivating me so?

ita, it wouldn't be Dominic, would it?
