JEFFERSON CITY, MOCollege chum Steve Maeske is apparently too busy to give his buddy Phil a quick ring, sources reported Monday. 'Phil, honestly, you know I'd love to go out to help you celebrate your birthday,' said Maeske, who's been like a ghost ever since he married that Veronica woman. 'It's just that, with work and the new baby, I don't have a spare minute. Come on, you can understand, can't you?' Sources close to Maeske don't see why he can't go out for one damn beer.
