I don’t know how you feel but…

The NBA season drones on far too long. It’s the only sport for me that makes me feel like I’m working when I watch it. Other sports don’t do that. Even World Cup soccer which I’m actually enjoying, doesn’t make me as crabby as having to watch an average NBA game. Now, last night wasn’t your average NBA game. It was game 7 of the NBA finals. Both teams actually played defense which NEVER happens in the NBA. And if you exclude the time it looked more like a Rugby scrum it was actually entertaining. But, still. I’m soooo glad it’s over. How about you? Glad to see it go or want 7 more games?

Got a cartoon over on ESPN by 9 or 10 EST. I’ll let you know when it posts. Have a great weekend!

I grew up on the Lakers-Celtics era with Chamberlain vs. Russell. And then West vs Havlicek. And then, of course Bird vs. Magic. Forgive me if it just doesn’t feel the same. How about you? Are you into this upcoming series? Or are you more likely to turn on the NFL channel and dream of September? Or wish that Ubaldo could pitch every night?

I took a few days off during this past holiday weekend. It was great to take a break from what seems sometimes like endless deadlines. I hope you had as great a weekend as I did. I always take time to remember the vets who have done so much for us. My Dad served aboard the U.S.S. Pennsylvania during World War II as a Gunners mate. We owe so much to the brave and valiant men and women of that generation who gave so much in service to America.

I’ve been reading a lot about Abraham Lincoln lately. We took a great trip to D.C. back in April and I prepped myself with several books on Lincoln. I’m reading “Lincoln: Tried by War” right now along with a book called “Skipjack” about the last of the sailing Oystermen of Chesapeake Bay. Anyway this cartoon seemed like a setting to vent my frustration about the length of the NBA playoffs. By the way, this cartoon in no way is meant to disrespect the men who gave their lives for the greatest victory in our nations history; to free those held in the bondage of slavery.

This one kind of sums up the NBA playoffs for me, especially this year. I guess I should be rooting for the Celtics-Lakers series to come through. I have several friends who are die hard Celtics fans. Yet I still feel lulled to sleep by it all. And to think…this is the warm-up for World Cup Soccer. Yikes!
