7:25am: Celeb Birthdays: Actress Jessica Alba is 27...Actress Kari Wuhrer is 41..Jay Leno is 58...Actress Ann Margeret is 67.

7:50am: NFL Draft talk here. I think Ted Thompson did a great job this weekend at the draft. Granted I was surprised with a wide receiver with their first pick of the draft, but Jordy Nelson is a big tough guy that Green Bay might not have in their "fab five" group of receivers last year. I love Thompson taking Brian Brohm in the 2nd and Matt Flynn at QB in the 7th. These guys should nice additions behind Aaron Rodgers. If the team does sign a veteran, Flynn could get stashed on the practice squad. I like the DB Lee, and the tight end out of Texas should be a nice compliment to Donald Lee and the two linemen will add depth up front.

8:20am: Kay from the Volunteer Center of Fond du Lac County stopped by for her weekly chat. Today is the last day to buy tickets for The Cheers For Volunteers Awards Banquet which is on May 1st at the Ramada Plaza Hotel. Cocktails are at 5:30pm/Dinner at 6:30pm. Tickets are $25.
