Jordan

I watched almost all of Jordan’s last night. Besides the All Star game, it was the only other game I saw to the end this year. I think Philly gave him quite the send off. They may be a tough bunch but they also know sports and recognized how special Jordan is to the game. Granted he is only a shell of his former self. The clips of him playing during his early days were incredible. I don’t know that I have ever seen anyone make jumping look as effortless as he did. I was genuinely saddened to see it all come to an end. The game itself was secondary. It was disappointing that he played so little in the second half. I think the only reason he came in at all during the 4th quarter was because the crowd was relentlessly chanting for his return. He made his 2 free throws and checked out. It certainly wasn’t a storybook finish but it didn’t tarnish my image of him. The NBA was a much better league with him than without him. It always makes me sad to see staples in sports get old and retire, always. I’ll miss Mike.

Puppy had an accident last night and this morning. Very frustrating. She isn’t giving us any hint that she has to go out.

Yesterday I booked an Easter brunch cruise. It’s something we have talked about awhile. Something different. There are so many things we say we want to do but never get around to doing. It isn’t a purposeful act of neglect, we just seem to have a full plate more times than not. I am trying to make an effort to make sure we do some of these things. What fun is life if you don’t make an effort to keep it interesting?
