Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
So sorry about the delay today, day off number 2 has been busy with naps and E-ve time and lunch and such.
I write now from the subway. The only good thing about getting on at the very first stop on the line is that there's always a seat.
I felt a little alienated this morning by the talk show circuit. Regis & Kelly, Ellen and R. Ray all had Mother's Day specials on. Now, don't get me wrong here. I love mommy Z, she's fantastic, so is E-ve's mom. But what's a twenty-something dude supposed to do? I ended up watching R. Ray because I can't help myself, but that's not the point.
Side note: If you have to set an alarm, leave yourself a note or anything else to remember Mother's Day on Sunday do it! Call her, visit, whatever you can. And if you can't have that with your mom, remember the other moms in your life.
From Mommy to Manny... Big news in the sporting world yesterday as superstar Manny Ramirez was suspended for 50 games under Major League Baseball's drug policy. The suspension without pay will cost Manny somewhere in the area of $8 million or so in salary. But more importantly it will cost him respect. There's no real way to measure that now, but starting July 3rd (when he's eligible to return to the Dodger line-up) we should be able to gauge the change by fan response.
www.makeitseven.com has been set up for Canadian hockey fans to register their email addresses and postal codes to support the idea of bringing the Phoenix Coyotes to Southern Ontario. At the same time there is a Facebook group in support of keeping the Coyotes in the struggling desert market. Last night CBC's iDesk reported during the hockey game that 375 fans had joined the Facebook group while almost 100,000 fans had registered at www.makeitseven.com (including Wally Z)
You know who we haven't mentioned in a long time? T. Swift. Still big fans.
And on a semi-related note, there is a one night only return to Ottawa karaoke coming very soon. So naturally it's time for us to start thinking about song choices. Ideas are very welcome. Leave comments here or email wally.z1.0@gmail.com we'll discuss possibilities here over the next week or so.
I think that's a wrap for today friends. TGIF. Bon weekend!
