Well Done, KG!!

-

Seriously, you guys know me and you know how much I truly, truly dislike sports. Right?

I can't say that I love basketball that much, but if I had to watch any sport on TV, I would watch basketball. I've been to more than a few Timberwolves games...heck, we even went to see the Timberwolves play in L.A. when we lived in San Diego.

Of all the athletes out there, I have always loved Kevin Garnett the best. As a somewhat Timberwolves fan, it was so annoying to see him devote himself to the club year after year with nothing to show. I truly believe that KG is the classiest and most amazing athlete out there.

So, when I found out that the Celtics pounded the HELL out of the Lakers last night to win the championship, I felt a little sniffly with happiness. Kevin finally got his. YEAH!!

Good job Kevin! I'm sure there are a lot of Minnesotans out there celebrating this win today!

Stupid, stupid Timberwolves.

I would have to ditto your comments. I am so glad for KG to finally get what he so richly deserves. It seems as if a player has to get away from Minnesota teams before they can win. He has been a good role model for anyone out there.

I agree. I was so excited for KG. He has always been and always will be a favorite. Last night it was fun to see him celebrate. It was a no doubt who's in charge game too. He's a champion in my book!

Rachel, I'm so proud of you for even knowing who Kevin Garnett is...and for knowing to call him KG...and for doing a sports-themed blog. Wonders never cease.

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
