I haven’t found basketball on the villa satellite programming. There’s something daunting about 900 satellite channels when you’re looking for one type of program. 900 channels becomes very “needle in a haystack” like. I’ve found no English programming carrying the Olympics, but German and something that sounds like French are … Continue reading →
At last! My dictation duties have been completed. I can return to unfettered pool lounging and take refuge in the air conditioning in the heat of the day. We finished dictation on the PBOTL first draft yesterday afternoon. I coaxed Her into the pool to celebrate tonight. She liked it. … Continue reading →
I’m still trying to drag Her out to the pool with me. Last week, She told me She would go, but I have not been successful in getting Her in the pool this week. She stuck Her toes in. She knows it’s nice and cool, but She still won’t go. … Continue reading →
Between pool parties and forced dictation sessions here in Bahrain, I’ve been following the NBA Free Agency hoopla this summer. And an interesting summer it has been. I concur with the seemingly unanimous assessment that Utah has come out on top of this process. They got solid players with some … Continue reading →

All this NBA Finals stuff was getting to be a distraction. Grumble, grumble, grumble. I just found out She is taking me to Bahrain with … Continue reading →
Yup, sleeping in their own beds did a world of good for the Lakers in the effect it had on last night’s game. The Lakers didn’t have a chance. When they had the ball, San Antonio swarmed them. San Antonio sliced through them like a hot knife through butter, scoring … Continue reading →
Well, the Lakers did show up, but they couldn’t quite hold things together. They threatened, even briefly overtook my guys, but in the end, they did not prevail. It wasn’t even close. That’s right, Coach Jackson, once you’ve been to San Antonio, there’s no reason to stay. In fact, if … Continue reading →
As expected, the Spurs won handily last night. But I would be remiss if I failed to acknowledge the truly phenomenal turn around in the Grizzlies organization this year. They began the year with few if any expectations for having a season like they had–first ever 50 wins. Thankfully, their … Continue reading →
