knicks

isiah thomas for larry brown? i don't know about this one. thomas was my favorite player growing up, but his moves are a little off the wall as a president of the knicks....now he's the coach. i just don't know.

hoops



in the name of all that is good and right in basketball, and so that we don't have to see mark cuban's face until next october- go heat. the sun rises in the east.

when i was in kalamazoo, new york and, to a lesser extent, chicago, staying up all night and seeing the sunrise was always a difficult thing. usually it meant i was up to no good, and the sunrise was kind of a trigger for guilt--although i saw my share during those times, i never really embraced that aspect of partying- it always felt out of place. i think of that these days that i see the sunrise sitting up with isaiah in the hospital, and seeing the sun come up on lincoln park isn't a bad thing now. it's been a while since i've seen a night through til the morning, but i've come a long way. isaiah has come a long way too.

quick shout on the dl

haven't had much computer face-time today, or since we've been to chicago. it sucks not to live in town for this- but we're getting by. big on-the ground support from nikki, jon and joel.
we're tired.

peace.

dr. claw


my left hand is numb, so i'm passing the time thinking about what life would be like if i replaced it with a claw.

long par 5


i think it was on number 11, the long par 5 with the water all along the right side, that i realized that i'm about done trying to figure out the myriad of scenarios that may face me next week. i haven't been able to do much work all month, and i've been fortunate not to have to worry about whether or not i'm going to get fired because of it--the firm has been great. but i've been jumpy about not working, and i've tried to fill some of that space up with thinking about how we're going to handle all of the logistics in chicago. jen and i hit an impasse last night when we were trying to figure out who's going to stay where on what night when we started thinking about tuesday night, and how the landscape could be changed by then. it all goes back to the same place- we're just going to have to be present in the moments that will roll out in front of us.
i stuck a pitch from 75 yards out and bogied number 11- so i got that going for me- which is nice.
