If you're a time-shifting television watcher and you haven't seen the series finale of The Sopranos yet, and the only reason you came out from hiding under that rock this morning was to check our blog, rest assured we won't give anything away here.
Buuuut...
In the category of "Vacation Experiences That I'll Never Have," there's this story about Tom Knox and his recent boat trip Sopranos star James Gandolfini. It even includes some great snapshots that beat the heck out of the ones of me and my college roommates on our recent wedding/reunion trip to Israel. Gandolfini wasn't the only celebrity that Knox spent time with in the Bahamas over last New Year's Eve:
It was a star-studded vacation for Knox at the exclusive Ocean Club in Nassau. While hanging out at the pool on New Year's Eve, he struck up a conversation with a man who asked what Knox did for a living.
"I'm running for mayor of Philadelphia," said Knox.
"How about that?" responded the stranger. "I'm mayor of Chicago." Knox invited Richard M. Daley to join him and his new friend Jim Gandolfini for dinner that evening.
While it's true we don't have Knox (or Brady or Fattah or Evans) to kick around any more, I can't help but feel a little relieved that someone who (at least by this account) didn't know the mayor of Chicago (aka "The Mayor) before being told "I'm mayor of Chicago," didn't end up as mayor of Philadelphia.
Oh and by the way, if you really want to know what happened to Tony use your mouse to select the block of blank space below:
In the final scene, with both FBI and rival mob bullets flying throughout the diner in which Tony and his family had been dining, an autistic child holding a snow globe in one hand guided a 1950s-era chopper to the ground. Tony got into the chopper and as he flew off, he read the words "Good Bye" spelled out with a number of large stones on the street below. As Tony drifted to sleep in the airborne chopper, he was suddenly roused from sleep to find himself back in his bedroom with the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. He entered the bathroom and pulled back the curtain to find Patrick Duffy lathering up at which point he realized... it was all a dream!
(A nod to Adam B. for the formatting idea for spoilers. He's "a friend of ours" which in blogosphere mafia speak means "another person with a blog," who writes a lot about pop culture and, therefore, often walks the spoiler line.)

Knox should be running to the hairdresser for better hair coloring. While he is at it he needs to have his ears shortened they are too floppy!
