  1. Setting up for a furious finish... one of my boys picked Kanaan, the other Franchitti. #Indy500
  2. And for the record, I'm going with Helio Castroneves as my #Indy500 pick, joining the elite ranks of the 4-time champs.
  3. Even if it's the only day of the year I give a hoot about racing, it's always fun to watch the #Indy500.
  4. Do your part for Pekka Rinne in the NHL13 Cover Vote: Sunday's notes sbn.to/L53O9W
  5. @dstaples Already clipped it for tomorrow morning's notes!
  6. Remember, you won't be able to sleep soundly tonight without doing your part to put Pekka Rinne on the NHL13 cover: covervote.nhl.com
  7. @paularnow At the rate I read, that'll be a looooooong time.
  8. I've seen folks tweet about Game of Thrones for a long time, so I finally got it for the Kindle today. So far, so good! amazon.com/gp/product/B00…

  10. A trip to the bookstore keeps the whole family happy. (@ Barnes & Noble) 4sq.com/K28rpI
  11. Took my boys to the SciFi section of the bookstore, they gravitated right to Asimov & Bradbury. #classic
