Severed beans, ear tubes and the NBA

Yes. It's been an interesting time since my last post up and out. The Dallas trip went well, minus my kidney infection. Very fun time and my nephews had a really fun birthday party. Keeping my prayers out there for my sister and her family in hopes they move back to the glorious Golden Triangle from Dallas. Very happy they got to escape, but our kids would have fun growing up together and not just seeing one another twice a year! Hoping to hear something soon on this.

Maddie's been sick a record 10 weeks (3 months off and on) with ear infections and sinus infections so she's getting tubes put in her ears, really bumming me out, but if it helps her and everything goes okay then I'm all for it. Okay, I'm not really all for it, but I'm willing to allow it if it will help her to get well!

After my really awesome testicular surgery of machette chopping pain back in... well, I don't remember when I got the vas because I've blocked said terror from my memory... but it turns out it didn't work so I'm getting the surgery done AGAIN. Here's to hoping it works this time? Either way, I don't want Krisi on any meds or future surgeries since she's already been through enough and given us two amazing kids. So yeah, I'll take the blade once more for the wife!

The NBA. SO I was a major NBA tard back in the early 90's and then lost interest during the famous lock out. Then in college I got back into the 2002-2003 playoffs and the early 2003-2004 season, but there was way too many thug-like activity going on and hardly anyone was really doing anything so I quit watching again. Then the 2008-2009 playoffs happened. I was hooked again and have been watching the 2009-2010 season very closely. Since I missed so much, I thought I'd research what I missed. Not much it turns out. A whole lot of unnecessary fights that in some cases (Ron Ron) were completely embarrassing. People glorifying players like T-Mac (how many fights did this guy get into at Orlando in 2000?!), Ron Artest or really anyone that's just plain ghetto on the court are ridiculous in my opinion. Leave the street ball attitude on outside and remember that you are making millions to play in the NBA... and yes, kids are watching and seeing you as the untouchable heroes that you are and should be. Here's to hoping that this injury ensued season will pull together.

Other than that? Thankful I made it to 30. Not everyone gets to say, "Yeah. I had it done. Twice. Once in my twenties and once in my thirties!"

And that's a bacon wrap,
