I was just delivered the best news of the week: I do NOT have to attend the meeting scheduled for this weekend in Cambridge. I am literally doing cartwheels right now. I guess this could be carry over cartwheels after Napoli's victory yesterday. I can forgive Napoli for their current Serie A *cough* situation if they make it through to at least the ( Read more... )

Five musings on my five favourite topics of late....( Real Madrid, Twilight, Gossip Girl, TV, Work... )

I finally did see National Treasure. That was my first time in a theatre in months. I remember when I used to go almost every week. My how times have changed. Anyhow, as for National Treasure, it was exciting and I was not bored for any of the 2 hrs and 15 minutes (well, except for the silly cartoon that preceded it). The cast was great. It is rare ( Read more... )

Here I am...back at work...with NOTHING to do. YAYYYYY!!! I l love this time of year. So today's update concerns the Australian Open, the Golden Globes, Amazing Race and a book update...

Australian Open:-This morning I experienced the first (and hopefully the last) AO scare of 2008. First round...Rafa versus generic unseeded player. It goes to a ( Read more... )

Happy Epiphany...

I have completed Dante's Inferno  and now plan on going through Purgatorio. The work was ummm, odd. I enjoyed the classical and religious references but it would have been so much better if Dante had lived 200 years later...the historical references to real-time Florence would have been so much more intriguing. Anyhow, in ( Read more... )

No speak of the Paris-Bercy final *pouts* If one looks back on the year in tennis, it should be acknowledged that every single tourney (with the exception of the USA Open) that Rafa completed, he reached no lower than the Quarter Finals. Rafa also had the most Masters wins of any of the players on the tour. I'd say that was pretty damn good. Next ( Read more... )

Twas another relaxing yet somewhat productive weekend - nothing too special. No Tennis. In La Liga, Real Madrid came from behind to stage a very important win 3-2 over Sevilla. The Amazing Race All Star Edition wrapped up with Eric & Danielle’s most appropriate win. I wish it was Myrna and Charla but after all the crap Eric & Danielle went through ( Read more... )

Am I supposed to be happy about Dubai?? Federer vs Youzhny in the Final...like I didn't see that one coming...much? Oh well, on to Indian Wells. Where the heck is that anyway? Is it in Palm Springs? The event is a Masters Series but I checked TSN and, surprise, surprise, they aren't airing any tennis next week. I must once again rely on livestream ( Read more... )

This weekend was a blur. I wish I had another day off. Board Bored Meeting weekends always mix up my schedule - it's like a day goes missing. This weekend the meetings  were so crammed I didn't even get to have a proper lunch ...I had to keep going right from one meeting to another. Gah!! You can bet I will be claiming my full meal per diem expense ( Read more... )

First off, congratulations to the boys, Tyler and James, on winning the Amazing Race. Hopefully they'll be back for an all-star edition which I'm expecting will happen sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Yesterday turned out to be a very, and I mean VERY, productive day.
