The Daily News
1 So...Ariana Marie Sanchez enters the Earth.
2 My niece Amy had a baby yesterday morning so we're all pretty excited and running around like fools.
3 So welcome to the world Ariana! You're already cool, and I heard you have some pretty good pipes.
4 Good times. Looking forward to sharing the good times with you, kiddoo.
5 Moving on: Did anyone see the smog layer lying low in downtown San Jose yesterday? My lungs felt like a rusty cheese-grater. I enjoy the warm weather, but I do miss the rain and snow, which we dreadfully need. When I glanced down from the hills, it looked absolutely scary.
6 Pretty toxic sight.
7 Moving on, Part II: If there's anything I love it's kicking it after a long day and settling in to writing the good ol' DN. Somehow I made it through a crazy week, received my first college grade in years (a 100%, whatever THAT means), hit every DN deadline, AND am buzzing over the new baby. One of those things that just keeps coming back and making me smile.
8 Ah, ya can't beat it.
9 Well.
10 Right now there's some show called the Best Damn 100 Mind Blowing Moments in Sports. Jordan's shot was there, as was Gibson's home run, Larsen's no-hitter, the "Catch", the Immaculate Reception, Starkey's call on the "Play", hole 16 of the Masters and a bunch of others too numerous to mention. I enjoyed it the way you would enjoy sitting in front of a fire on a frosty evening.
11 It glowed, flared up, calmed, became spectacular, and eventually settled into a very mellow purple burn.
12 I worked on stuff for 11 hours yesterday so it felt really nice to lie back and relax.
13 Ever just do that? Work yo ass off for around sixteen hours and then stretch out and let your spirit leave your body?
14 I swear I began levitating by the end of the day.
15 Hard work has its rewards. Cliche' yes, but SO on the money.
16 The show ended with Michael Phelps' amazing performances this past year, and it ended with the Miracle on Ice. Here are the final 10:
10: Music City Miracle
9: Fan-Man @ Bowe vs. Holyfield
8: Boise State's TD at the end of the 4th quarter vs. Oklahoma
7: The Play - California/Stanford
6: Tiger Woods - Hole 16 - 2005 Masters - Crazy Ass Putt
5: World Series Game 6 1986 - Buckner, lol
4: Douglas vs. Tyson - 1990 - wat
3: Manning's SuperBowl throw to Tyree to beat the Pats
2: Michael Phelps @ The Olympics 2008
1: Miracle On Ice17 Miracles.
18 I guess it's been a day of Miracles.
19 Welcome little Ariana.
20 Something's right, I'll tellya that much.
21 Peace to all.
