The Spurs are working to remain in first place in the conference. The Mavericks are giving them a run for their money. Bill Walton, commentating on today’s game, emphasized how well Rasho Nesterovic has been playing this year. When the Spurs re-signed Rasho this summer, I had my doubts, but … Continue reading →
Here’s an opportunity for you. Check out the Writing Divas. As a great way to get to know them, they’re having a scavenger hunt contest with a lovely sounding gift basket as a prize. It seems like it’s geared toward women, but you guys, pay no attention to that. Check … Continue reading →
