Happy Birthday, Joe. Is that a copy of the Communist Manifesto in your hand?

Some kind of manifesto. He keeps quoting it.

Anybody who didn't watch it missed out. The USA beating Cadada was AWESOME! They now have the #1 seed in the tournament and will next play either the Swiss (who they beat already 3-1) or Belarus who has lost twice but to Finland and Sweden (two of the best teams).

They play Wed. at 2:00 PM Central I am pretty sure.

Any loss from here on out means they won't get the gold medal.

As far as I'm concerned beating the Canadians is success enough. I once had an ass of a Sous Chef from Canada. He was a scheming, back stabbing SOB. Tried to subvert me and get my job. I got to fire him just after he bought a house and had all his immigration paperwork in order. He had it coming.

To describe him as haughty and sneering would be apt but insufficient. He had a bad attitude toward America in general and the American culinary landscape.

Back when they still had The World Cup (a hockey tournament comprised of national teams - every 4 years) He bet me that Canada would beat the US. He spotted me 5 points. This is like spotting an NFL team 50 points.

We beat them outright.

Happy Birthday, Joe! Did you have a quiet freakonomical birthday dinner?

I'm glad the USA won in hockey. The only Canadian I know is a wonderful French Canadian woman named Mariette. I love her. But I'm glad the US won.

Maybe the Canadians feel superior because they have a better national anthem. You know who has a great national anthem? Finland. Nice melody, good words.

I just joined a weight-loss group. We have parnters (which switch every week) and we check in with them every day to ask them about their eating and exercise habits.

They weigh you in front of the group and each week they chart your weight loss and caloric burning exercise.

It's called the FAST diet and I am buying the book today.

The only problem is: I joined without a partner and so am the only person who does not have some one to check in with... yikes!

I take it back. I thought Finlandia (by Sibelius)was the national anthem of Finland. But on double-checking I find that it's called "Maamme" or, in Swedish, "Vart Land" which is not so great.

Good luck, Lisa. I'm annoyed that Stevo is doing so much better than me. I'm sure his hundreds of situps and pushups and stair running have nothing to do with it.

Benoit Benjamin is testifying on TruTV about the Williams case.

Lisa, I joined one too. Thorough Joe's work. Everyone pays $10 to start and if you miss a weigh in you pay a dollar. If you gain weight it's 25 cents a pound. I've paid $2.25 so far. Missed two weighins and gained after losing a couple of pounds the first weeks. But I feel renewed this week. The winner is the one who loses the most percentage of weight. It ends in May.

Djwanna be my partner via e-mail? The problem is, we rotate parnters, so you would be partnering with someone you've never seen some weeks. You would have to weigh-in long distance and send in your exercise info long distance. You'd have to follow the F.A.S.T. diet.

Sorry. Gotta teach 40 Hispanic kids how to go to Confession and then zip home to watch the last 45 minutes of 24. I've missed 2 or 3 episodes and I'm afraid that I won't know who Jack is torturing or why.
Bon chance!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I received an ice scraper for my birthday. We stayed at the Irish Guest House in Galena this weekend and I woke up way early on my birthday to read an Irish newspaper. The three Kennedys in all of Ireland that died last week were Michael, Neil, and Killian. Luckily, no Joseph. Anyway, the night lady eventually gave me a fresh-baked scone just before 6AM, and told me to go to bed. Monica later awoke and we enjoyed our quasi-Irish breakfast.
