I want to start by thanking everybody who offers feedback to this blog on a regular basis.

Your suggestions are key to making this a fun enterprise for me and hopefully something useful (occasionally!) for you.

That being said, we are starting a new feature called "Ten For Tuesday." I surf the web often looking for information for my stories and sometimes I run across topics not particularly related to sports, yet, nonetheless, interesting. So I keep a note of them and I figure every Tuesday, I will link the ten most interesting ones I have found---some about sports, others about life in general.

So, if you have something to pass along that we can post each Tuesday, feel free to do so. My e-mail is zmehenti@cw2.com.

Here we go with our first weekly picks:

1) The happiest place on earth is where? Well, let's put it this way. Who needs a Gross Domestic Product when you can have something called "Gross National Happiness"?

2) Most of us knew Ricardo Patton as the former CU Men's Basketball Coach but he proved that he is much more than that after the tragedy at Northern Illinois University.

3) If you think the NBA and its players are out touch, perhaps this columnist will change your mind.

4) He has more catches than Michael Irvin. He has won two Super Bowls, and owns pretty much every Broncos receiving record but unlike Irvin, this NFL stalwart
will most likely not be heading to the Pro Football Hall Of Fame.

5) I am going to see this movie on Thursday night. If you are an avid runner like me, several different theaters in Colorado are, uh, running (pun intended) this film for a second encore presentation on February 21.

6) Does this mean it will be a "rocky road" for ice cream lovers?

7) Speaking of ice cream, Barack Obama has picked up at least two big endorsements in the state of Vermont.

8) First, no team wanted him. Now, he is being paid a whopping sum of $4.3 million for just 30 days of work.

9) Take it from this member of the Rockies, steer clear of steer.

10) Simply put, Will Ferrell=laughter.

Have a great Tuesday. Hope to see you back here tomorrow.
