Basketball - I've got to love it!

It's Saturday morning. The doorbell rings at 9:15 a.m. It's Allen, Willie's friend from across the street. He's ready to head to the Stake Center with Willie and Karl for a basketball game. At 11:45 a.m., Haley picked me up and we headed to the grandparent's home for our Saturday routine. Only a brief sign of the boys in my family - from playing basketball. A little before 2:00 p.m., Haley and I left the grandparents, picked up James from home, and headed to Hunter High to the wolverines JR JAZZ basketball game. We got home from the game at 3:30 p.m. or so. Annie called and needed someone to hang out with and go with her to do some shopping for Elliott's birthday (Elliott wants a BIG basketball court, not a play one). Willie volunteered, but not without catching some of a basketball game on TV. (Elliott was with his Howden grandparnets at the BYU basketball game, and Ross was home with Wyatt watching football - go figure.) After a nice trip to the ghetto mall, a bite to eat, and grocery shopping, we were finally home for the remainder of the evening to watch basketball. The Utah game was delayed on TV --we had to watch UCF and Tulsa finish up -- who cares about them. We went back and forth, from channel to channel, watching San Diego and TCU, the JAZZ, and finally Utah. The day ended with a win for the Utes basketball team over UNLV and a win for the JAZZ over Milwaukee (Andrew Boget's team).
