Weekend Observations

I Believe I Can Fly. Got to play some basketball over the weekend for the first time in years. And although my ability to suck air was greatly decreased, my ability to run with the big boys is still in tack.

The Ring Tattoo. I’m finding more and more that women just don’t think it’s as romantic as I do to get a ring tattoo to replace the jewelry. I’ve also been reading that finger tattoos tend to blur really easy. Gonna have to rethink this.

Moving. It sucks. I guess I’m glad it wasn’t me, but moving both my brother and sister during a Michigan winter really blows. Nice places though!

Walking Through Stores. Not a good idea for me. I see too many things that I must have, even though my life has been just fine up until this point without them. It’s better to just stay out of stores.

Free Stuff. They’re not always free. Tanner’s Ducktape Man won Jason’s superhero contest and the free DVD. But it cost me $10 in materials, and another $10 for a movie to give Tanner that he could actually watch. (The DVD Jason gave away was PG-13). But like Tonia said, a Sunday afternoon with your son… Priceless.

Speaking of Sunday. If you aren’t enjoying a hassle-free Sabbath day, you are really doing yourself a disservice. Lazy Sunday’s are an extremely important part of a healthy Mud Puppy.

New Media Glitches. This weekend I encountered my two first glitches with my new media outlets. First I received a damaged/missing Netflix envelope from the post office. Then I tried twice to record a program on my DVR, and both times it didn’t record the show.

I’m So Vain. Last night I went out to dinner with my wife, and I wore a watch that I knew for a fact didn’t work simply because it looked good with the shirt.

Joey “Put up your dukes” Crawford

Unless you follow the NBA much this won’t be a big deal to you, but to me this is one of the strangest stories I have ever seen…

NEW YORK — NBA referee Joey Crawford was suspended indefinitely by commissioner David Stern on Tuesday for his conduct toward Tim Duncan, who contends the official challenged him to a fight.

Still No Madness

One year later and I’m still lamenting. I want so bad to be excited about this tournament but it’s just not like it used to be. I can’t for the life of me even think of how I can get it back either. The makeup of the people I am around just isn’t conducive to bracketology. I’ve tried the online pools but it just doesn’t do it for me. It just isn’t the same. Maybe because there isn’t really any money changing hands or something. Most likely it has to do with face to face smack talk and having people over to watch the games. – I will take this time, however, to mention how cool it has been to have my wife so involved in the pools with me. That is some of my favorite memories. She was so into it.

Well, for what it’s worth, I see Texas vs. Ohio St., with Texas grabbing another national championship this year.
