Kid's Reading
Out of the many books I picked up for James at the library the other day James finally settled on one that he really wants to read, a Star Wars book. Which gives me the idea that if that is what the boy wants, if that is what he will read then by all means that's what I will get him. So I picked up more Star Wars books from the library this past weekend, and will just keep loading him up.
TV Watching
With all of our regular shows done for the season it is time for a break from the evening TV. Which happily comes at about the same time as our family vacation. I am of two minds on our TV watching. On the one hand, my fathers influence tells me that all the TV time is not a good use of my time, and it would be better if I spent my evenings doing something else. On the other hand, watching our shows is very much something Kim & I enjoy doing together. So we watch the shows, but I can tell you that I rarely miss it when we miss those shows or something distracts me.
NBA Playoffs
Watched bits and pieces of the first game of the championship last night, saw enough to think that Dallas might be in trouble unless they can remember how to shoot. Because the other parts of the game were dominated by Miami. I feel bad for Dirk and Kidd, but they just have bad timing (again). At least this one doesn't look like it will be decided by officiating. Either way, from what I saw, I haven't missed much in the way of what I think of as entertaining basketball. In fact it was nice to spend Memorial day not caring about sports. Except for watching the UEFA Championship, now that was entertaining! And watching Messi play soccer is about as close as we can get these days to watching say the Showtime Lakers or one of the truly great NFL running backs, that sense that you could see something amazing at any time, and that you are afraid to look away. Which is something that you won't feel in these NBA Finals.
