Sudoku

Any of you out there caught up in the latest solitaire craze?  Sudoku...it's a numbers game that has degrees of difficulty...yup, I'm addicted...it's in the Trib and I attack it every morning...about 60% accuracy...maybe more like 3 out of 4, so 75%...I leave the Sunday version out, as it has way too many squares...

It's that time of year where the MLB managers get their pink slips...it's easier for the clubs to fire their guys, rather than their players...so Houston, Florida, the Cubs, the Mets, the Dodgers, Seattle, Oakland, KC, Baltimore, and the Pads...your jobs are in jeopardy...unless, you get more to the meat of the bone, the GM's...the Cubs booted theirs...maybe the SD brass will get rid of their play station GM...managing in the Bigs is a cush job...kind of...they all do the same thing...it's managing the egos that is the issue...not so much the game...

Keeping it real...I didn't see the DBacks in the hunt...at the beginning of the year I saw them waddling about with the Pads at the bottom...but, did see LA floundering...good for Arizona, as I am pulling for 'em...

Is there a more ubiquitous event than the upcoming marriage of Kim Kardashian?  The way the television eats this up is way beyond me...way...it just shows that if you build it they will come...ooh, that could be taken a bunch of ways...but, at such a young age, to be tweaked, botoxed, knifed, amped...it's just a shame, or is it a sham?  Whatever it is, the money she and her clan makes is beyond approach...in this day and age of people having to struggle to make ends meet, there appears to be no such problem for that fam...boo...

And with that, I bid you adieu for this fine Friday, 8-19-11...
