Happy Birthday, Sarah!!! Now you are as old as me! (Give or take seven months or so...)

NYC has made the Final Five cut for the 2012 Summer Olympics. However in the voting, we only came in 4th, behind Paris, Madrid and London. (Moscow is the other finalist) I don’t think the odds are good that NYC will be chosen. With the 2010 Winter Games in North America, they’ll probably choose one of the three European cities for 2012. I’m disappointed though that Havana, Cuba failed to make the cut. How great would that be? Castro would never let anyone leave!

Congratulations to Randy Johnson on throwing a perfect game last night. Not bad for 40 years old! It’s even sweeter that he did it against the Atlanta Braves. They’re not so tough this year, are they? Add that to another 9th inning come-from-behind win by the Mets and it was a good night for baseball.

Television’s greatest villain, Sherry Palmer from “24”, was killed off last night. She was the quintessential manipulater, always scheming against her husband and plotting her way to power. All of her schemes finally caught up with her though as she was gunned down by one of the women who she betrayed. In three years on the show, Penny Johnson Jerald did an amazing job in her portrayal of the character and she’ll be missed!
