WHOOPPEE!!!!! The Lakers won their third championship in a row last night. In fact, they swept New Jersey in 4 games. I felt kind of bad for the Nets, but they still had a lot to be proud of. They would have lost no matter which Western team had made it to the finals (well, they would have lost to Sacramento anyway), and Byron Scott did a very good job coaching the team � his first coaching year and he made it the finals. Nothing there to be ashamed of. They just couldn�t be expected to beat my boys. Shaq was named MVP � third year in a row for him, too. Considering the fact that he was beat up for most of the playoffs (toe injury and some other stuff), that�s quite an accomplishment. Cathy e-mailed me about Hawaii. She wants to go in January, for her 40th b-day. I would really like to go, but I don�t know if it�s going to be possible. It�s not even the money that�s a problem, it�s that I won�t have the vacation time accrued. Plus, my boss may be out of the office at that time which would require my being at work. I�m kind of hoping that another of her friends will go, so that I won�t feel bad if I can�t. Sarah also e-mailed me. She moved out of her apartment and I guess she and her boyfriend broke up. Sheesh, I guess this is the season for relationships to fall apart. Spring cleaning, maybe? Later� Question: Why is it that people who believe in reincarnation always find out they were someone of great importance in their past lives, i.e. Beethoven or Cleopatra or Napoleon? Nobody ever thinks they were the guy who had to clean up the horse stables. I�ve decided this is going to be my new motto (now if I can only live my life this way): "It is what it is and what is important is what will be." -Robert Vaughn Young I spend far too many hours thinking and feeling guilty about stupid things I did in the past. Granted, the number of those stupid things is legion, but what am I really accomplishing by being embarrassed about something that happened ten years ago? I need to learn how to give myself a break. Of course, I know this and yet� |
