Happy Birthdays

It's my good friend's birthday, Laurie Snook....and I say happy birthday to her...but it got me a thinking...just when did this type of festivity first begin...so I did the normal seeking online...and, of course, it is controversial...the different faiths take credit and pretty much say it started before the birth of...wait, not all believe in this...OK, I say we all need special days in the year...and why not the birth date?  But, there are those of you out there that don't want their ages posted...so, is there a time to stop the celebrations?  And if you go by the extravagance of the Housewives of Beverly Hills...stop it...I know I look forward to it...so this Hoff, is for you, Ms. Snooki...

Mark you calendar...get ready to download your Kindle...get on ibooks for your ipad...tomorrow is the day...the release of the expose of your gurl, Sarah, is hitting the market...and the rumor is, it's not too flattering...geez, is that a possibility?

And now it's a closed door meeting for the Padres after their latest debacle...a 3 game sweep at home for the Mariners...where the awful SD'ers scored a whopping 1, ein, uno, one, yet, yup, one run in THREE games...as the journey continues on for the most futility in the history of the game...well, Bill Walton, that may be a bit severe...as the time gets closer to actually bring up the young guns to salvage the season...you see, it's all about the $...if the GM brings 'em up too soon, they have to pay more...and you, the fan, must keep the faith...well, Padre's brass...you need to do your job and get the right guys in here, so the public will watch the team...it's now a guessing game, who first to get fired?
