Ribs, Them's some high scoring games we seem to be trading, huh?

I'm glad we split this series 2-2. I couldn't bear being enemies with you! We get the Rays next, now that Aamos' team has softened them up. Spareribs

Vista: Thanks for the great start as usual. I have an NBA question for you, or anyone else who might know, that I do not know the answer to. Bill Walton (Portland and Boston) and son Luke (Lakers 2008) have now both played in the NBA finals. Have there been any other father/son duos to have played in the Finals? Bruce

GREAT question and one I have pondered over for the last hour. Thanks for the distraction....lol. I had to go some searching in some books I have here and also checked a couple of web sites. I BELIEVE there have been 5 father / son duo's who have made the NBA finals 1. Rick and Brent Barry 2. Matt Goukas Sr. and Matt Goukas Jr. 3. Bob and Danny Ferry 4. Bill and Luke Walton 5. Joe and Kobe Bryant Some fathers are more visible in the lives of their kids (ie Bill Walton and Rick Barry) while some are a bit more "behind the scenes" as in the case of Joe Bryant. There is always the possibility that Karl Malone may have fathered a player or two who made it to the NBA finals, but we will never know unless DNA testing is done. He has a child in the WNBA and another in the NFL. Again.....good question and I may have missed a pair. I went out at noon (94 degrees) and ran 7.1 miles. The "warm up" was easy to do.

Survived the camping expedition with the 8th graders. Whew! Everything went fine during the two days, but last night was rocky. As the only rookie chaperone, I ended up with the only two kids on the whole trip who got sick in my cabin. One ended up in the ER overnight with a severe asthma attack, and the other barfed all over half the cabin - my half, naturally - during the middle of the night. Would have preferred some sort of colleague-inspired initiation rite over this. No running, but lots of hiking yesterday. My glutes are really feeling the effects of the steep hills. And a couple of hours of canoeing this morning. Mine was the only boat that didn't get tipped, not for lack of the kids' trying. They definitely underestimated my skills. Glad to hear things went well for Amy's DH. Also glad to see btb stop by. Craneium - what you did for your principal sounds like so much fun. I'm sad that neither of my schools has that kind of spirit or camraderie. Teresa - sorry about the achillies problem. Hope you heal quickly. It's in the high 80s and humid here. Not sure whether to wait until late this evening to run, to bag it and head to the shore this evening, or to get a shower and go to bed early so I can leave for the shore super-early this morning. Hmmm, that shower would be a blessing to myself and anyone who might be stuck near me . . . . . Good weekends, all Eliz
