2016 Olympic Finalist Date

Hey, just wanting to let everyone know that the Date the IOC will choose the finalists for the 2016 Olympic Games will be June 4th @ 10:30 a.m. in Athens. You can watch it live on www.Olympic.org . Mayor Daley, Pat Ryan, and other Chicago 2016 officials will be in Athens for the meeting. Whichever cities are chosen to stay will be able to place the Olympic Rings in their logo. They will also be changed from a "Applicant" City to a "Candidate" City.

2016 Olympic Short-List

My first order of business since I am back is to let everyone know to keep an ear out for which cities will make the Short-List for the 2016 Olympics in June. The Seven cities currently bidding are:

-Chicago, USA
-Tokyo, Japan
-Madrid, Spain
-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
-Prague, Czech republic
-Baku, Azerbaijan
-Doha, Qatar

This list will be dwindled down to an undetermined number of "Finalists" next month. My guess for the finalists will be:

-Chicago, USA (no kidding, lol)
-Tokyo, Japan (a potential problem, if not the problem)
-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (The problem)
-Doha, Qatar (deep pockets)

We'll see how my predictions turn out. Let me know what yours are.

A Little Rest........

Sorry about taken soooo long to post anything. I am back and will be posting more regularly for all my fans......please, hold your applause....
