Another 680 words today. They’re slithering out of my fingers, but I think they’re hibernating like snakes–all balled up in some dark corner. I’ll be gone for a couple of days. Any posts for the next couple of days will be either the dog or cat. Pay them no mind.

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 →
