Google's Addictive Birthday Doodle, West Hartford High School Sport Sked, Roundtable

Google celebrates 15 years with a pinata game; here are five things going on in the area today.

Good morning, West Hartford! Today is Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday, party and party and party and YEAH! Sept. 27, 2013; there are 95 days left in the year.

OK, I’m supposed to be asleep right now, but Google came up with an addictive Doodle for its 15th birthday: how much candy can you get from the pinata?

I scored 126 on my first go-around, and have spent the last 10 minutes trying to top it.
