Friday Morning Musings, We'll Miss You Michael Edition

Good morning everyone and happy Friday!



Tonight is Mommy Z's party and we're already on our way. Thanks to the GO transit system for taking us as far as it will and thanks to Mommy Z for picking us up where it stops.



E-ve is meeting me on the train and the little brother is meeting us at the bus. It's a family day 4 months after the provincial holiday of the same name.



Huge thanks to E-ve for putting the play list together for tonight.



From what I hear everyone enjoyed themselves at Romeo's birthday party the other night. And there was less nudity than anyone expected. I also hear that there were some awesome bacon and banana treats delivered to the birthday boy. He's a lucky guy.



We're taking a moment today to say good-bye to entertainment legends Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. They were both huge stars and we pass on condolences to family, friends and fans.



Also, in the style of Stephen Colbert, a wag of the finger to whomever was responsible for the rumours of the passing of both Jeff Goldblum and Harrison Ford. Shame on you.



Dissapointing loss for the Blue Jays last night as they weren't able to finish the sweep of the Reds. Congrats to hometown boy Joey Votto though as he showed why he's a world class player and fan favourite in Cincy.



Watched more HIMYM season 1 last night. The show really is top notch.


The NBA draft went last night in NYC and the Raptors had the ninth overall pick. It went something like this:



David Stern: With the ninth selection in the 2009 NBA draft the Toronto Rators select DeMar DeRozan from the University of Southern California.



DeRozan is a long, athletic dude with a ton of potential. He's a swing man that can guard 3 positions and has a reported 39 inch vertical leap. It's also his legend that he first dunked a basketball on a 10 foot rim in the 6th grade. Be ready Raptors fans, Triano and Colangelo like this guy and it looks like he's going to get some minutes.



The NHL Entry Draft goes tonight with all sorts of speculation as to what may happen with trades and picks. Tavares and Hedman are still expected to go first and second, but the order has yet to be confirmed.



There's a dad and daughter behind me talking about The Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus. It's adorable.



We're now moving east on the GO tracks and soon E-ve will be with me.



We'll call it a day from here.



Like wham!
