We'll miss you, Scott!

You really can't celebrate Cinco de Mayo at a Mexican-for-a-day place. We started the evening with a visit, finally, to McNulty's bier markt. It was not crowded, even though there were $2 Coronas and Modelos. I like this place already. A pretty cool vibe, non-smoking in the front, and a damn good selection of beers. About 15 or so on tap. They do not have much of a kitchen yet and have started offering items from the Phnom Penh restaurant across the street. But they have these baguettes, which looked pretty good. I guess you can get cheese or meat items with them. I had a couple of Blue Moons which were only $2.50 during Happy Hour, which are cheaper than the Michelob Ultras. I didn't have any Witte, not Whitey, which is also available. Definitely will go back. Man, 25th Street is really coming alive.

Then we headed out east to one of my faves, La Fiesta, next to, but not in, the Richmond Mall. It was packed for the occasion, because of Cinco de Mayo falling on the weekend. I opted for the shredded pork burritos, so I can have lunch the next day. It was very good. And we even got to see the end of the end of the Cavs game with Gilbert F. Arenas hitting that bomb to tie the game at the end of regulation. Then it was cool to hear Joe Tait call the OT on the way back home. It's been a while since something good happened to a Cleveland team.

Mary Magdalene, even at her age, is still gettin' it done.

Porter Goss resigns as head of the CIA. They change leaders like the NBA changes coaches. Some think he may be under investigation from the Duke Cunningham scandal. After all, it was his committee.

Fidel Castro really gets mad when we find out he's rich. He has more cash than the Queen.

The Cavs actually won a playoff series yesterday. To show how prophetic I was, I said, "What the hell is Damon Jones doing out there? Washington...he's a decoy, don't guard him." Doh! All the grief we had to put up with from Jones this year was erased with that shot. I even tried to get playoff tickets this a.m., but they mysteriously sold out rather quickly, as I think there was Ticketmaster hanky panky going on.

We don't get much time to think about Detroit, as we already start that series tomorrow. That is not going to be pretty. I think we should be happy to get one game from Detroit, because they actually contest shots and foul hard and do all the little things you need during the playoffs.
