Texas Tech Basketball

Congrats to the Aggies on finally beating Tech in basketball or football. Man was that embarrassing. I expected to lose by 50 this weekend to Kansas, but not to A&M.

I must say I have been pleasantly surprised by Pat Knight so far. I think the players have really responded to him and played very hard. It is obvious that this team has been devoid of talent this season, but I see potential for the future if Pat will get out there and recruit.

Its hard to watch this season, but hopefully things will turn around with the new regime.

Jason Kidd - thumbs up

You play. To win. The game.

Win now. With this trade the Mavs have made a decision to worry about the future later and start worrying about the present. I loved Devin Harris' game, but him being the next Kevin Johnson someday will never be the same as having a 35 year old Jason Kidd today. I think this is a good move for the Mavs, but I wish they could somehow keep Diop. I think he was very underrated as far as what he brings to the table defensively and with rebounding.

The Mavs may not win it this year, but they have put their cards down on the table that it must be in the next 2-3 years with this current core of Dirk, Josh, JET, and now Kidd.

4 months old = newborn

Reid is now 4 months old, but taking care of him recently is more like he is 4 days old. He is still getting up a couple times a night and the second time he basically gets up for the day. I try to help the most on the weekends but that doesn't mean I am not up during the week too. I don't know how Kristy does it but you have to respect her ability to balance everything. She really does a great job with Reid and Westin on barely any sleep!

I used to have a roommate that would only sleep 3 hours a night. I never understood how he did it, because it is really hard. Now it feels like we are doing that and then working 16 hour days after that.

Golf

I got to play golf today for the first time in about nine months. Prior to that I maybe only played 2 other times in the year before that. It is extremely humbling to go out there and try to look like you have actually played before. I have to admit I stink. I really wish I could play more, but my life just won't allow for at this time.

When I am able to play again regularly, I need to invest in some swing lessons. I really struggle off the tee. In fact I hate to tee off. I love the middle and short iron shots as well as chipping and putting, but teeing off really exposes my game.
