Quite appropriately, Saturday has rolled around again. I mowed the backyard as well as the front this week. Front yard mowing kept it in check. The backyard? Well, small dachshunds were beginning to disappear. I had to put a stop to that. Poor Notre Dame embarrassed itself again today on … Continue reading →
I hear time and time again that the Spurs are boring. Nobody wants to watch the Spurs. They play boring defensive basketball. Guess what? Defensive basketball, played well, results in turnovers and fast-breaks, and quick changes in game tempo. How can that not be exciting? Fabricio Oberto has been slicing … Continue reading →
Inuit and I are watching The Playoffs together, and shaking our heads. We are surprised anyone is shocked that the Miami Heat got eliminated in the first round. Obviously, none of those people who were shocked watched the opening game of the season where the Chicago Bulls dusted the Heat … Continue reading →
I had the six month follow-up on my knee today. It’s ok, but I’m not satisfied with it. The doctor says it’s about where he expects it to be. I asked to go back in June. The left knee took about ten months before it became mostly pain-free. I figure … Continue reading →
It’s NBA opening night, so I’m sitting here watching NBA basketball on TNT with Inuit (Inuit waves to her webfriends). The Spurs don’t play until Thursday, so we’re just getting our off-season withdrawal relieved.

I’m back. And, for the record, I had to look up the spelling of that title. Rarely do I have to look up a word, but I’ll confess to that one. Today Got up at 5 (Tasha has a wonderful wakeup technique). Finished packing (hubby got up at 0430 and … Continue reading →
The Spurs just completed their pre-season schedule with a record of 2-7. From my disadvantaged point of only being able to see scores and read other writers’ views, I’m not able to carry on an educated discussion. I will base my observations on a general impression that Coach Popovich doesn’t … Continue reading →
Don’t ask. I’d be obligated to answer, and you do not want to know what I have to say about that tonight. It’s not that I’m worried about being banned from the RWA, but I would be if I said much more. Maybe tomorrow will go better when the truck … Continue reading →
John Lopez of the Houston Chronicle talks about Manu having San Antonio on a string. Manu Ginobili plays with abandon, and that makes watching him so very exciting. The practical side of me says the man is going to hurt himself someday, but the other side of me just watches … Continue reading →
