Roger Clemens has been a very stupid man.  Starting in February of 2008 when he offered to tell congress (under oath) that he did not use preforming enhancing drugs.  Now the pitcher is on the verge of serving anywhere from 6-18 months of jail time.
    I just don't see why in the world someone would basically volunteer to lye to congress.  On the contrary I don't see why congress has to thrust themselves into the topic.  Baseball should handle it.

By Anthony Horowitz 

            Anthony Horowitz’s eighth book in the best- selling Alex Rider series is a winner.  The book is very fast paced and will make you never want to stop reading.

            It all started when Alex’s friend’s family invites him to a New Year’s Eve party in Scotland.  The supposed-to-be-fun party ends up making Alex bring his entire spy training to good use. 

            Alex wants nothing more than a normal teenaged life and not a top-secret spy life. When a journalist comes to Alex’s house and offers to leak that Alex is a spy and make Alex and the journalist rich, Alex goes to MI6 ( a British spy agency) for help because he does not want his story to be leaked.           

            Alex finds out that MI6 wants him to investigate a genetic engineering facility.  When he goes to the facility he is caught red handed and his only chance of escape is dodging bullets and going through a room filled with poison.

            One event leads to another in this thriller.  Anthony Horowitz keeps the reader on the edge with twists and turns that you would never expect.

      If you like this book you would like IQ by Roland Smith both Crocodile Tears and IQ share a spy atmosphere with the unexpected thrown at you to make the books even better.

National Sports Collectors Convention

Over this past weekend my family and I went to the National Sports Collectors Convention, at the Baltimore Convention Center.  The event was great.  It was heaven for me because there were millllllions of sports items.  Most of the vendors were nice except one who made a person get out of a seat because it was 'reserved' for his customers.  The convention was a great learning experience for me.  I begged to stay longer everyday.  It made me feel good that people have a soft spot for kid collectors.

The Front door view of Cafe Gia's

            Café Gia’s is located in Baltimore’s Little Italy.  On the end of a very bustling street, Café Gia’s is in a great spot.  Once at the door it looks like a bistro straight out of Italy.  Once inside the walls immediately grab your attention.  The walls are covered high and low with and ongoing mural of Little Italy (as it seems) in the 1920’s.  The tables have pictures of Italy related things.  The whole restaurant is like a mini museum.

            The hostess took us to our table, which was right by, the bathrooms, so we asked to move.  Then another server took us upstairs to another table.  That table was also right by the bathrooms.  So then we asked to change to another vacant table across the way.

            Our food came with a mild wait.  It was very delicious and was a generous serving.  My dish was pasta balls with cheese and marinara sauce; it was very tasty.  Also the garlic bread we ordered was phenomenal.  The only food that was not great was the chicken from my dads chicken parmesean, it tasted a little overcooked.

            All in all my rating for Café Gia’s is and 8. 3 out of ten.
