Spurs game: the gift of VIP
A friend of mine, James Seales, gave me his pair tickets - over $275 a piece - to enjoy the Spurs-Minnesota game last night.
Megan, who knew James from middle school, joined me on the third row.
James posted the offer on facebook that morning, and about ten minutes after I responded, he text-messaged me: "hey, when is the last time you went to a Spurs game?"
He said he had not seen my reply on facebook.
"I was going through my phone list," he told Megan and me, "and I came down to Tyler Cleveland and remembered all the times in Mrs. Wampler's class (freshman year) where you would yell "Ginnooooobili,"" referring to the times I shot paper balls into the trashcan.
It was a perfect night for Ginobili, who came one rebound away from his first triple-double. He came out of the huddle jumping and passing like a globetrotter, obviously feeling good after a recent undefeated roadtrip.
The night was an unforgettable and once-in-a-lifetime experience, but I can't wait to be awarded the best seats in the house one day: sitting indian-style on the baseline with a media badge that says "San Antonio Express-News," hopefully before Manu Ginobili retires!

Megan turns 20
Megan began a new decade on Dec. 27, 2009. I'm very blessed to have loved and be loved by this girl, not knowing where I would be in the next 20 years without her. Here, she opens her gifts after a delicious feast at Red Lobster. Thought I might try some animated gifs for this one. :)
new chair, new year:
Notice the dog:
the comfy sheets!
pearl earrings. Isn't she gorgeous?
older sister Heather watches on
Jade got cut. Lilly is old. :)
