Cotto-Martinez

I finally had the chance to watch last week's Cotto-Martinez middleweight championship fight. Great win for Cotto, who put on an intelligent "master class" as he took down the champ. Kudos to Martinez, who lasted nine rounds on two bad knees. The only cruddy part of the fight was having to listen to Larry Merchant call the action. I can't stand Merchant's perpetually cynical, dry and often as*holish commentary.

Alexander Imich

Alexander Imich, the world's oldest man, has died in NYC at the age of 111. He was born in Poland in 1903 and was a retired chemist and parapsychologist. RIP

That's Why huh?

Well. That would be why you don't cut the grass in open toed sandals, wouldn't it? (I whacked a toe with the weed eater. Bloodied but undeterred.)

On This Day

On this day 40 years ago, Whovians said farewell to the Third (aka The Best) Doctor and welcomed the Fourth, played by Tom Baker.

Happy Birthday Barbara Bush!

Happy birthday to First Lady Barbara P. Bush, who turned 89 today!

Boo

We watched California Chrome come up empty in his search for a Triple Crown . . . a colossal waste of TV time better spent watching "Vanilla Ice Goes Amish" (seriously: a great show. Watch it!) Still, it was *almost* worth it to watch the bitter rant Chrome's owner gave to NBC after the race.
