Yup — “officially OLD” as Dotta Numba 2 says.

Day was spent in picking up The Minion from the airport (she’s back from college for the summer), and then dinner and a footie match with the wife and both daughters. (Kansas City 3, New England 1 — and all three KC goals were scored on our end of the pitch.)

The rest of the weekend will most likely involve a viewing of the full uncut version of John Woo’s Red Cliff tomorrow (possibly) — or at the very least something equally recreational.

Thanks for the kind wishes, folks.

In a deal I suspect was put into place last summer (when the rumors were flying hot and heavy), Christiano Ronaldo is leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid in the Spanish League. His last role at United: Serving as a one-man stimulus package in a bad economy, garnering the club £80 Million.

His performance this year was lackluster compared to last year (another reason I suspect the deal was already in place — he seemed to half-ass it this season. Although, truthfully, his “half-assed” is still far and away beyond most players “whole-assed” — I mean he was still the team’s top scorer…), and, I suppose if one of the best footballers in the world is going to leave my favorite team, I’d rather that he leave for another League entirely.

It will be interesting to see what ManU does in the transfer market to shore up the loss.

Interestingly, this means that Real Madrid now have both Ronaldo and Kaka. Yikes.

Somebody’s went and done it:

Steampunk Tales — a collection of steampunk fiction by established authors, designed to be read on the iPhone and iPod Touch. The first issue is now available for $1.99 on the iTunes App Store.

If this works, just think of the possibilities….
