Egads, two in one week??

So I'm sure most of you who even read this get here via Mr. Chad Dupree's website. I'm happy to say that Chad's doing a lot better lately. For most of the time I've known him you could just about sum up Chad's existence as a long depressive streak dotted occasionaly by periods of happiness. I'm happy to say he's starting to turn that around, and it's all in his mindset. Chad finally clicked that button on that made him realize what had to be done to make real change in his life, and the results came almost instantaneously once he embraced that. I'll add also that Chad has always been...again as long as I've known him....one of the most genuinely good people I've ever met. I can't emphasize how good it is to see him really making progress. And it feels even better if I had a part in it in any way, as he says.

On a side and totally unimportant note to most, one of my e-feds closed down this week. Stinks, cuz I really liked this one. But fortunately most of the crew from over there will be heading to my home fed so that's good. There was some really top notch talent over there. It was a shame to see it go.

My wife and I are trying to figure out how to spend some more time together. It's gotten to where we basically see each other in passing as one comes home from work and the other heads out. That does not make for a very exciting marriage. To say it's a strain is an understatement. Don't get me wrong, we're not in trouble here or anything. But it's hard. We definitely have to fix that. It's been a tough year this year both financially and personally. Certain things make you realize the things that are really important.

In other news, I seem to be unable to play a night of basketball without injuring myself. A few weeks ago it was my right wrist. I got that all healed up and went for some more hoops last night after a three week layoff. Lo and behold, as I went in for a beautiful white boy finger roll I became aware that there was a large metal pole holding the goal up under the basket. My right hand....oh yes....the same hand....slammed into it as I tried to avoid it...and now I'm sporting a very sore and painful thumb on said hand. I mean, come one...this is just getting really pathetic. I'm freakin' Grant Hill over here with the injuries....

We won 4 out of 5 games though so that was cool. I kick ass even injured baby!

My daughter is in my lap. She's tied with my wife as the two most beautiful people in the world. Just thought you'd like to know...
