2 Posts In A Row About The NBA

I must be sick. I can hardly stand the NBA.

I guess by default I've always had a favorite team in the NBA. I find I follow certain players more than a certain team. When I was young I loved these guys because they were the only thing in my hometown.

When they began selling drugs and being evil criminals, I had to withdraw my support or quit going to church. I quit cheering for the Jailblazers sometime in high school. After Drexler, Porter,Kersey and the boys were long, long gone.

But oh how the ping pong ball bounced our way and I fell back onto the bandwagon.

So now they have the #1 pick, a future and I'm back in the fold. Since they are from the old hometown I say you can come and go as a fan however you want.

Like say for instance we draft Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan again......

In an unrelated note that might be a "had to be there" moment, we were talking in the office the other day about projects for one of the summer locations. We recieved a late addition of a name of someone to help. I was asking this persons name and I was told her name is Anita Hand.

We do service projects for people who need help and I found (maybe because I'm odd, or from lack of oxygen) this project to be worthy of help but the name ironic. Maybe its just me.I wonder if one day we might serve someone named Coulduse Somehelp

I Miss David Robinson

I remember a day not so long ago when I liked the San Antonio Spurs. They were cool, they were fun to watch, they were led by a stand up guy. Now they are thugs. Big Shove Bob and the rest and just playing dirty. Bruce Bowen is just plain scary. I now officially cannot like them. They have decended to the place usually reserved for the Yankees and Duke.

As far as something positive, I have rediscovered a Dave Matthews album I wasn't that crazy about at first, Stand Up. You should check out Louisiana Bayou. Great tune. I heard it at Starbucks last night and its been stuck in my head since.

Done

I finished the book on my flight home this morning. For those curious, it was Hurt by Chap Clark. I enjoyed it very much.

Now the earth can keep rotating.

Book Recommendations from a Music Guy?

Last Friday I had my manhood challenged and a qualifier put on a friendship if by Friday I don't have a certain book read. Oh, and I was told I'll be removed from said friends blog should I fail to man up to this challenge.

Okay, if you say it like that it sounds really scary. Actually a guy I trust recommended a book he thinks I should be ashamed to not have read yet. So I'm reading it. I can't do anything about not eating the carrots in Johnson City but I can fix this one.

Consider me reading.

Hope your Tuesday is a great one. I spent my morning thinking about the summer and specifically the evening times we get at Know Sweat. I'm excited. Not excited enough to wish it was here tomorrow because we wouldn't be ready. But excited enough to be anxious to see how God moves.

Now enough, I must get back to reading.

It's May

It's raining. Another good day for me since it reminds me of my homeland. The only downside is my grass will once again need to be cut. Just how old does Carter have to be before he can drive the mower by himself.......

I thought I'd share a couple things I'm excited about.

1. We have a new front page on the ciy website. This brings me great, great joy. Our new web ninja (his title not mine) is going to be a huge blessing. Plus I like calling him ninja now. Ninjas are cool. You should check it out right here.

2. While you are surfing the web, you should check out my fantasy baseball league I'm in. Oh, did I mention I'm the defending champ! Finally after all these years I somehow managed to topple the dynasty that is Matt Wilson. You can check out our league right here. Oh, did I mention I'm in first place today?

3. I really dig the Mat Kearney itunes ep. It's just 4 songs but they are 4 of my favorites and they are worth your money.

4. Brynn rolled over for the first time this week. These are bittersweet moments of joy for an accomplishment and a touch of saddness that I'm not ready for my kids to really grow up. At least Ang's beauty is timeless.

Well, hope your Thursday is a good one. I'm a little sad because I just took my last sip of my new Starbucks coffee--the Tarrazu blend from Costa Rica. I recommend it highly. Now get back to work.
