1-800-ASK-KEITH

OK, here's how this new feature of my blog works. I've joked with my friends for years about the fact that people should call me before they make decisions in their lives.

Sometimes it's over trivial things--like whether or not someone should have selected the outfit they are wearing. Sometimes it's over bigger things--like whether or not someone is a good fit for the job they're pursuing. Sometimes it's over stuff that makes the news. That includes items that are legitimately newsworthy and items that wouldn't even qualify for the 10:00 pm newscast on Dallas television.

Well, here's the beauty of blogging--whether someone wants my opinion or not, I can offer it. You can choose to agree with it or not, but it's still my opinion and I can post whatever I want. After all, it's my blog.

So, without any further delay, here's the first (and maybe last) edition of 1-800-ASK-KEITH. These are the people that should have called me first this week:

Cameron Diaz -- You can do better than Justin Timberlake. Don't marry him.

Phil Jackson -- Take the job with Cleveland. You'll have the chance to coach one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and you'll get the opportunity to build a program from the ground up.

W. -- It's a good thing when the first lady has a chance to say what's on her mind. People like that.

NHL-- Come to an agreement soon, stop being so greedy. You are not the NFL.
