March 15, 2012
Sorry to see you go Mike. Knicks then play D and blow out Blazers. Last night was Noche Latina 2012, so the Knicks were Nueva York and the Blazers remained the Blazers. The game on Monday featured Los Bulls.
Took the day off for some personal chores and what do I get in an E-mail, $10 off on Outback Surf and Turf. Sold !

"Our junior debt was trading at 5 cents on the dollar. So you want to come to a place where even though the lenders are getting a haircut on the face value, they know they’re getting an incredible lift on what it’s actually worth. That’s the magic."
A bookie with an MBA.
Forget about the play-in games, which weren't bad. March Madness starts today.
Omar Little wins the Wire Tournament. Actor Michael K. Williams is humble about his win.
