Sunday Jordan (GH#1) & James drove to the Laker - Raptor game.

Superman has Laker tickets and he let the young hunks use them.

The Staples Center is an hour+ drive depending on traffic. 

I was watching the game on tv when I got a text from WW.

 It wouldn't be on tv but thought about it as I watched the game.  

I googled and found the Staples Center capacity to be 21,000!

Imagine being 22, asked to shoot a basket from halfcourt. 

This was their view as they waited until the end of the quarter.

Originally, they asked James if he wanted to do the halfcourt shot.

He agreed, but they asked if he had any relations in the NBA, 
and he does, so wasn't eligible. Jordan said, "I don't." 
They looked at him, he is 6'6", and let him do the shot.
He said he was "stoked." 

 I have a 46-second movie that I will try to add here.

The above looked like it would work, but no, try again!
No luck, so I'm, sharing 2 screen captures.

The ball hit the rim but not in. 

He got a second try for a 3 pointer and again hit the rim.

I thought he looked relaxed, but he said he was nervous.

Just because ...

I am in a weekend class.

Explosion of Color and Form taught by Dina Wakley.

Saturday & Sunday, March 9 &10,  9 - 5 pm.

What we worked on today will be completed tomorrow.

Working on heavy watercolor paper with acrylics and pouring.

Home later tonight, set the clocks back, so I can get up at 6am,

which mt body will recognize as 5am?  And back to class.

I came from the class in Santa Ana to the house on the hill.

I am puppy-sitting my Granddogs while Superman 
and WonderWoman are in LA at the Laker game.

I was in time to catch a beautiful sunset.

Today was beautiful, a little cool, but lovely.

More rain is due later this evening and all day tomorrow.

What's on your docket?

I have had more time and achieved less this weekend.

Friday was busy and fairly productive, here.

But Saturday, I was in pj's all day.

 I didn't make my bed! I usually do.

And when I do, I look sorta like this. Sorta!

 

Even though I live alone and nobody sees or cares,

I think of it as a commitment to the day ahead.

It doesn't always work out that way, but I try.

So I napped, read, ate, watched tv and repeated, all day. 

I don't do this often, but when I do I call it a sloth day.

 

 

 

 

Today, Sunday was more energized, if not productive.

I went to the house on the hill to puppy sit, while ...

 Superman, WonderWoman, Cheryl & Johnnie 

went to the Laker game in LA.

Believe it or not, I didn't take any puppy or Laker photos?

I did get to visit with Grandhunk#3 as he came home from

working a 5 hour brunch shift. Time with him is golden.

On the way home I stopped at Target, they were taking 

10% off their gift cards, today only. Every parking space 

was filled and cars were cruising around hunting. 

I exited and came home. No Sunday only discount for me.

Is it just me, or has Christmas started even earlier this year? 

Are you in the holiday spirit? Let me know?

Meet Tanner!

Is that not the sweetest face you've seen in awhile?

His Grandma, my cousin Martha, sent it to me last October.

It was Tanner's 10th Birthday and his team won the Championship! 

I studied the photo and wrote to see if I could use the photo?

No reply, I was disappointed but moved it to the back burner.

Yesterday, I got an email, saying yes, so let me tell you 

a little bit about Tanner and his amazing family. 

Tanner is the youngest of seven, so a family of nine!

Elementary, Middle & High School & 2 busy parents.

And they are terrific, individually and together.

Can you find Tanner?

A smile for Monday ...
