1) Mark McGwire retired from baseball following the 2001 season. He ranks #8 on the career home run list with 583 round-trippers (tied with A-Rod). He hasn't fared all that well in HOF balloting and has been rather successful in flying under our radar in recent years. But now comes word that Big Mac will be the Cardinals hitting coach next season. Commish Bud Selig is "delighted." Me? I'm still sifting through my feelings on this one. Thoughts from baseball fans out there?
2) If your "bucket list" includes eating at a McDonalds in Iceland, you're about to run out of time. The country's three restaurants (all located in Reykjavik) are closing very soon, apparently a victim of the collapse in the local currency. Story here. (Or could it be the work of those "eat mor chikin" bovines?)
