Chelsea Beats Bayern Munich to Win Champions League



Chelsea's miracle run in the UEFA Champions League climaxed Saturday with a rather improbable win in the final over host Bayern Munich. Facing certain loss with time running out, the Blues managed to pull off what had to be considered a lost cause in enemy territory at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.

The Blues won their very first Champions League crown via a penalty-kick shootout, 4-3, after playing Bayern to a 1-1 deadlock after 120 minutes. Ivory Coast international Didier Drogba turned out to be the man of two hours, connecting for the equalizer goal in the 88th minute and scoring the winning goal in the shootout to give Chelsea owner and oil baron and billionaire Roman Abramovich the European championship he had so desperately sought for nearly the past decade.

Late May weekend

Super nice weather all weekend, in the 70s, perfect for walking around. Ran a bunch of errands yesterday, catching up on a few things. Also watched a movie, Contraband, with Mark Wahlberg, which was OK, entertaining. Went to bed reasonably early, by 1 am or so.

Today I think it's time to order a few things for the baby, a have a list next to me provided by Nicole with the car seat, the crib, and stuff. Will be working through it.

In tech news, I have my eye on the new Intel Ivy Bridge processors. The i5 3570K is tempting, and retails for a reasonable $250 or so. Trouble is I would have to get a new motherboard, case, video card, etc. so it's a more complex purchase than just the CPU.

My friends Bobby and Judit are staying in town, they are renting a place on the upper East Side. I wanted to see them late this week but things got too busy.
