Let’s see, was there any new news today?  If at all possible, the date of November 17th will involve me standing in an arena watching Metallica tour in support of their upcoming album, Death Magnetic.  Yes, that’s right!  Metallica is coming to St. Louis that Monday evening and I will hopefully be there!  I was able to see them live in 2003 during their Summer Sanitarium tour so it will be nice to see them live once again.  In other happenings, Michael Phelps has won 2 more gold medals since I last wrote about him.  Last night’s gold medal was heart pounding excitement at it’s best!  One of the greatest races I’ve ever seen by far!  Tonight’s gold medal was a complete blowout.  3 down for him, and potentially 5 more.  As of right now, he is tied for all time total gold medals by an individual at 9.  He’s an amazing athlete.
