Miscellaneous

Hey - well, where do we start today? It's been a long couple of weeks, so we haven't updated lately. We'll touch on a bunch of topics:

*NBA - Kobe and the Lakers should win tonight (Tuesday), now that the series is back in L.A. Celtics shot 38 free throws compared to Lakers' 10 the other day in Game 2. I still think L.A. has a decent shot at winning the series - the Lakers haven't been beaten at home since March.

*Kids - the kids are gone to Abilene for a few days, so Angie and I have a bit of an empty nest. Angie took them to Goldthwaite to meet with Debra and everybody else, and they all are having fun. We wondered how Miles would do, but he did great - slept with Abbie all night after Debra slept with them both initially. Way to go Milesy!

*Angie - Angie's working a pair of marathon, 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. shifts on Tuesday and Wednesday, since the kids are gone. She may be dragging tonight! Love ya, Ang...

*Abbie - Abbie was Camper of the Week at her basketball camp last week. She has softball camp next week...

*The Governor's mansion was gutted by fire this past weekend, and evidently it was arson. I went over and took some "far away" photos - couldn't get too close. Investigations are still ongoing - the structure is more than 150 years old, so they'll try and save it. The Austin American-Statesman had some pretty devastating-looking photos of the interior today. What motivates someone to do this kind of thing?

*We've got a practice game with North Hays Optomists tonight. It'll be weird to be coaching without Abbie being in town to play.
