Mavericks Fever

Okay - so I like a lot of sports, baseball, football, hockey, basketball, golf....etc. I know pretty much how all of them are played and while I am not obsessed, when a good game is on, I can get into it and watch. When my home town team is in the playoffs, I definitely get invested.

But, last year, I really got into basketball....specifically, the Dallas Mavericks. They have a good team and they are local....and I wish I could say that was the draw....but alas, it was this picture that drew me in.....

DIRK NOWITZKI - I mean, come on.....7 feet of sizzle.

Anyway......right now they are also in the playoffs, I think they have a good shot at going all the way, and DIRK is on track for NBA MVP this year. Their current series is against the Golden State Warriors and heading into game 3 tomorrow night, they are 1-1.

So, you'll find me at the local sports bar on the nights they play wearing my Mrs. Nowitzki t-shirt......[just kidding I'm not that obsessed].

GO MAVS !!

We interrupt this TV Show review for a moment from our sponsor....

....just an update on life since I have been MIA for a little bit. I'll go back to my TV show favorites after this.

So I worked last Saturday to cover a shift for my friend Curtis. In exchange he worked for me on Monday. So, I was sleeping in - a little bit - on Monday when I hear my cell phone in the other room ringing around 8:30a.....I ignore it, thinking that it is someone in my family trying to get me up. Ten minutes later, it rings again....I moan from bed, but ignore it again. Then 10 minutes later it rings again. This time I get up, wander to the living room looking for my phone and answer it. It is someone from my job wanting to know why I am not logged in. I say, because I am off today. I worked for Curtis Saturday and he is working for me today. They say, oh I am so sorry, I didn't know or remember. I say, no problem. And they apologize again for waking me and tell me to go back to bed. Doubtful. Now I am up and start my day. I listen to the two voice mails left from the first two calls....the first one is from Human Resources wanting to know where I am and the second one is from the phone console coordinator who monitors the phones, etc. I laugh....I mean, the phone console person and the person I actually talked to where copied in on the email that approved the change and why is someone telling Human Resources to call me......sheesh, I am never late, I never call in sick.....surely someone could have figured out what was going on before calling Human Resources. Oh well.....

Next week, is the last week of school for this semester....I have a final on Monday and one on Saturday....and then that's it for the semester. Yay ! That is why I have been absent here - too much stuff to be finalized before it ends. It looks like due to scheduling, I won't be taking any classes this summer....which stinks. I may have to push my graduation date back by a year.....oh well, I keep plugging along. I'll get there.

Anyway - there is an update. I will post more TV stuff in the next couple of days and then more on me later.....including an update on the seeds I planted.

See ya !
