So we're down to the semi-finals of Dancing with the Stars, and I've just finished voting 15 times for Apolo Anton Ohno and his professional partner. They are so cute, and perform dances with incredibly complicated choreography. I mean, Laila Ali is good, but she is performing fairly simple routines. There is no way she deserved a 30 for her Cha Cha Cha when Apolo only got a 29 (Judge Len Goodman thought it was too raunchy . . .) In my book, the two strongest couples are Ohno and Joey Fatone . . . on the other hand, my getting behind any contestant or sports team is a pretty sure kiss of death.

Did anyone else catch the Sopranos Sunday night???? Not to give too much away, but my undoubtedly wrong theory is that Christopher isn't really dead, and is going to run to the FBI for witness protection. He'll testify against Tony and the boys, and Carmela will find out that Tony had Adriana killed . . . I'm also looking for something bad to happen to AJ. . . . This final season started a bit slow, but things are moving fast, as they rush to the final episode . . .

It's almost 10, and I can hear the fog horn out on the jetty . . . it's kind of cool and kind of ominous . . . Night, all . . . if anyone needs me, I'll be tucked in bed, knitting away . . .
