Who will die in sports?
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: Impending Death
Sorry for the delay in posts - work seems to have shut down my access to this thing, and I have more free time at work than home (newly married, keeping "busy" if ya na'mean)...

Your caretaker found a tremendous article on odds for athletes to die, and I have been convinced that celebrities exist outside the human realm.

Show of hands - who knew that Danica Patrick wears a flame-retardant suit in order to keep the hotness INSIDE - G'damn! So sweet I'd mop that up with a biscuit!

Better Late than Never: The Ariel Sharon Watch
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Impending Death
Since the impact of Sharon's death will have just a bit less impact to the Mortfolio than it will create in the Middle East, I thought it was important near the halfway point that I include some links on Sharon's current status.

On May 29, Sharon moved to a long-term care facility.

The most comprehensive site appears to be the Miami paper the Sun-Sentinel, maintaining a blog-like roll of Sharon stories.

Sharon appears on 6 of the 9 rosters for 2006, and of those six only one is NOT in the 2.0 CC slot.

If Sharon dies in 2006, the Mortfolio score would be 47 multiplied by the confidence kicker, effectively separating those five squads from the rest. Brian G has the most to gain by Sharon's health, as he is currently in fourth and would love to see waste their 2.0 spot.

"It's hard for me to believe this is the end," said the veteran preacher Billy Graham who is suffering from Parkinson's disease, fluid on the brain and prostate cancer, and has used a walker since a pelvic fracture in 2004. Your caretaker and Jeff Story are the only ones with the foresight to see the imminent dirtnap. To his credit, Graham has never weathered criticism of intolerance or embezzlement. Here is a link to his "fundamentals"
