More Olympics, more Sports news, and last season of ER

Olympics

• 3rd night in a row, sleeping at 1 am, only to watch more Live Olympics on NBC

• Michael Phelps won his 6th GOLD Olympic medal last night (he is 6-for-6 so far)

• USA women gymnastics tool home the GOLD and the SILVER medal, down to the last rotation. It was a game of deductions, game of perfection, game of decimals of scores. What a night, to watch Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson put it all out on the floor (literally) with no regrets.

In other Sports news

• There were around 5000 empty seats at the Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers NFL game last night in Toronto, and that scalpers couldn't sell the tickets. I actually feel bad for them
• Toronto Blue Jays puts Vernon Wells and John McDonald on Waivers. This was a surprise to me, not that it's unusual for a team to put players on the waiver at this time of the season, but I would not watch Blue Jays if there was no Johnny Mac (and Roy Halladay)

Last shocking news from the NBC commercial - Next season of ER will be their last season (15th season), after 14 years (first episode aired in 1994). I wouldn't know what to do on Thursday night anymore, I have watched ER since Taiwan - Dr. Green, George Clooney, Carter, and now .... it'll all become just memories

I was fortunate enough to get some Stratford Festival tickets for this coming weekend (Saturday for Cabaret the musical, and Caesar and Cleopatra on Sunday). Looking forward to it
