Blog Epilogue, or Why I'm Awake Way Past My Bedtime

It just occurred to me: Why not write a follow-up to some past blogs?

So here we go, from the most recent and going backwards. Happy reading!

1. "Check Your Facebook Privacy Settings -- Before Hiring a Hit Man to Off the Baby Daddy" -- Well, baby daddy now dead daddy. The father of Eley's baby, 22-year-old Corey White, was shot once in the chest hours after today's court hearing, police say. Police cannot yet say if White's murder had anything to do with Eley's death wish. Eley, 19, was arrested June 12 along with the alleged hitman-to-be, 18-year-old Timothy Bynum of Darby. I didn't time this blog very well.

2. "Call Off the Wedding, Bert and Ernie" -- Bert and Ernie still platonic friends. For now...

3. "Extreme Makeover, Tiger Woods Edition" -- Eldrick Tont Woods bounced out of the PGA Championship after missing the cut by seven strokes. I'll say it again: Woods will never win another major.

4. "Gabriella Giffords Needs to be at Home Recovering, Not on the House Floor" --  Giffords receives the National Athena Award, joining other recipients that include Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and former Astronaut Sally Ride.

5. "Diana Nyad Couldn't Hold a Speedo to the Big River Man" -- Nyad ended her quest to crawl stroke from Cuba to Key West halfway through the attempt, due to shifting winds and currents. Sounds eerily familiar to her 1977 attempt.

6. "Are You Ready for Some Football? Heart Says Yes, Wallet Disagrees" -- Heart still says yes, wallet still disagrees. Unless my buddy Scott has a ticket for the Silver Section at Bank of America Stadium!

7. "Amy Winehouse is Finally at Peace" -- Musicians continue to pay tribute to Winehouse. Also paying tribute -- former party pal and enabler Pete Doherty. Scumbag.

8. "Casey Anthony Free, Time to Move On" -- Casey Anthony not so free, time to move into probation, according to Judge Belvin Perry, who ordered her back to Orlando to complete her sentence on check fraud.

9. "Robin Meade: Host, Singer, Songwriter, Shameless Self-Promoter" -- Still shamelessly plugging her country album, "Brand New Day" on her HLN show, "Morning Express With Robin Meade."

10. "Double Amputee Had No Business on Roller Coaster" -- Ride of Steel, the coaster that killed Army Sgt. James Hackemer, was shut down again last week after a chain broke, stranding riders.

11. "So Long Space Shuttle Program, Forty Years and $142 Billion Later" -- President Obama declares he wants a mission to an asteroid in 2025 and a man on Mars by mid-2025-30s.

Time to put this blog to bed now.
