Sushi Party
We’re hosting a Make-Your-Own-Sushi party this coming weekend. Check out the details at Evite.
Mr. Peterman was Robbed!
So I watched some episodes of Dancing with the Stars, and it was very entertaining. I thought Seinfeld’s Mr. Peterman, John O’Hurley, should have won instead of Kelly Monaco. Mr. Peterman got style and is a pretty funny dude. Bringing in Mr. Dirty Dancing himself, Patrick Swayze, for dancing tips was classic.
My Little Rapper Girl
Merynn’s fussy and wailing away then she hears Tupac’s California Love playing from my iPod. She immediately stops crying to listen. Who knew my little girl likes Rap music?!
Home Gym
To start losing some of my extra pounds, I got myself a mini-home gym of an adjustable bench and the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells. These dumbbells are pretty neat and take up very little space. They’re kinda bulky compared to regular weights but beats having all those weights around.
Robert Horry Belongs in the NBA Hall of Fame
I heard an interesting discussion about whether or not Robert Horry belongs in the NBA HoF. Forget his 7.5 ppg, 5.0 rpg, and 2.3 apg career averages. In his 13 seasons in the League, Horry’s been in the post season each year, starting with the Rockets, then the Lakers, and now the Champion Spurs. I remember him coming into the League as the Poor Man’s Pippen.
Altogether, “Big Shot Bob” has 6 championship rings.
- 2 with the Rockets
- 3 with the Lakers
- 1 with the Spurs
He holds the all-time record for 3PT FG in the Finals, eclipsing MJ. Don’t forget about all his big shots he’s hit throughout his career. Did you see that left handed jam in the Spurs-Pistons series?
If winners are voted into the Hall, then Horry belongs. 13 seasons, six rings.
Commentary on the NBA Draft 2005
The NBA had its 2005 Draft so there’s a few more young millionaires running around out there. Andrew Bogut going number one isn’t too surprising-a polished center with passing skills is hard to look over. Marvin Williams is a good match for the rebuilding Hawks. They got some young guys so it’ll be a few years.
Deron Williams as the third pick to the Jazz?? I didn’t know he was that good. He looked solid during the NCAA tournament, but out of the trio of Illini guards, I didn’t think Deron would go before Luther Head (or Dee Brown). I guess the Jazz is hoping he’s the next Stockton.
TV Shows via the Net
Wow, watching TV shows provided via the Internet is very cool! Missed shows from Smallville, Desperate Housewives, and Grey’s Anatomy are way better to watch, especially in HDTV format! BitTorrent is an amazing technology.
First Month Pictures
We took Merynn for her one-month old pictures at Sears. Proofs are available for on-line viewing at:

Clear out the garage
In a previous post, I wondered how our Sienna van would fit into our garage. The answer is get an outdoor tool shed and stuff it full with junk from our garage! Now, there’s (some) space.
