Home-Boy Improvement

  As with many television shows, I don't pay strict attention.  I'm in and out of the room, reading, or doing something else while the TV is on.  But the person being interviewed appeared to be one of  those formerly famous ex-football players, out of the intense media spotlight now.  He proclaimed that his present goal is "to become a better person."  Achieving that goal, he went on, means he will stop smoking, exercise more, and eat a better diet, in hopes of becoming as fit as Michael Strahan.  I didn't think that's what is meant by the term "better person"  but I guess there's nothing wrong with being literal.
