Spitzer Linked To Prostitution, Likely To Resign

Video

Huh.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, The New York Times reported Monday, citing an anonymous top administration official.

And the irony is...

His cases as state attorney general included a few criminal prosecutions of prostitution rings and into tourism involving prostitutes.

In 2004, he was part of an investigation of an escort service in New York City that resulted in the arrest of 18 people on charges of promoting prostitution and related charges.

Maybe it's like one of those cases where the narc ends up a junkie, or something.

Tonight I'm going to my first Sabres game in like 4 years. A co-worker had an extra ticket and offered it to me. Nice!

Here's hoping they come through for me and follow last night's win over Philadelphia with a win over Washington.

This week's weight: 173

I've really become serious about this since last Friday. I don't know what did it, but the OCD finally kicked in!

I know each week it's been either 173 or 174 but I'm going to pull a Joe Namath here and guarantee that I will be 172 or less next Tuesday.

Tonight we went out to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. We were going to go to Red Lobster on Maple but it was packed (we should have known better, it always is on Saturday nights). So instead we went to the Grapevine on Niagara Falls Blvd and Ellicott Creek.

I got the Apple Almond Chicken. Dudes, it was awesome. If you ever find yourself there for some reason, I highly recommend ordering it. It was one of the best dishes I've experienced in quite some time.

Also got the Coconut Shrimp. It was good but not like the Coconut Shrimp at Outback Steakhouse -- that is craaaazy good.

Tonight the wife and I went to see Savion Glover at the UB Center for the Arts.

Who is Savion Glover, you may ask? Just one of, if not the, best tap dancer alive. (WIKIPEDIA - Savion_Glover)



He performed with an excellent old school jazz trio. I wouldn't consider myself a "tap fan" per se, but this guy is unique enough to his trade that I couldn't resist going.



One cool thing about him is that he smiles the whole time he's dancing. I dunno... I got a kick out of that.

I won't go out of my way to see him again because to be honest it's a little repetitive (at least to my untrained eye) but it's definitely one more thing I can check off my "things to see before I die" to-do list.

Well sorta. Once this is all over I'll be spending about $40/month less than I do currently. Diapers are crazy expensive.

We started potty training our youngest yesterday now that she's 2. She stayed dry almost the whole day. Atta girl! I'm so proud of her.

We're using M&M's an incentive and it appears to be working. Each time she goes she gets one. Kinda like a carrot on a stick.

There will be tough times ahead I know (been there, done that with our oldest) but the wife and I are enjoying the initial success, for sure.

Ohhhh snap. Christian Bale's going to have a stake in a summer blockbuster two years in a row.



I'm already looking forward to next year's summer blockbusters and the goodness that 2008 has in store hasn't even begun yet.

4 minutes away from being 2 days later (shut it, Janelle).

174: same old, same old

So next week is the season finale? What the flip! It just started.

Well, here's hoping that it's done well enough in the ratings to warrant a return.

I love this show. I mean, after viewing each episode I'm cooling with never seeing it again as a repeat, but while it's on it's definitely an enjoyable time.

On two different occasions earlier this week I felt bad for our youngest and laid down next to her at bedtime. She's had a nasty cough, just like her dad, for the past two weeks. It only shows up in the morning and in the evening. How convenient. Enough to keep her awake when she should be falling asleep after a long day and enough to wake her up when really she could probably use another hour's worth of shuteye.

So anyway, now I'm reaping what I've sown. She expects me to lay down with her every time she's supposed to be going to sleep -- bedtime, naptime, mid-night wakeups... Typically it's just a tuck-in and a kiss and I'm outta there. The whole sympathetic back-rubbing thing was just a situation-based anomaly.

She should understand that, I mean she's going to be 2 three days from now. Right?

Yeah right. I should never have opened up this door. My wife is ready to kill me, and justifiably so.

It's getting easier though. Tonight was only about 5 minutes of crying, tops. That sounds bad but it was like 30 or so last night.

I feel bad for her big sister who shares the bedroom with her. Last night was so bad that she started crying too, just because she was overtired and wasn't being allowed to fall asleep.

So yeah, like (e:lauren) said yesterday or the day before, there's no point to this story.

Just a brain dump.
