Big News!

Never thought I'd say this again....I'm engaged!
Kristen has said yes (for some completely unknown reason) and we are planning to get married next summer in Vegas, baby, Vegas!!!
Tentative plans are to get married in early July, followed by a reception in the greater Ravenna metro area in mid-July. Some potential reception spots include...
Al's tree-lined 32 acres
A 2-site affair between the greatest 2 garages in Northeast Ravenna...Skot's and Andy Emery's.
Lower Court (obviously)

Reception spots would NOT include...
DOG DAZE (said with deepest voice possible)
Wastewater Treatment area
Upper Court (obviously)

We are both happy and appreciate all of the well-wishes that have been given to us already. I look forward to planning what should be a fun Vegas trip, and we hope that many of the people reading this blog head to Sin City with us.

Back at it like a crack addict

NBA Draft wrap-up...

Anthony Stuckey-Bowl....I hope he develops a jumper as quickly as the man that everyone is comparing him to, Dwayne Wade, did in the NBA. Otherwise, the Pistons have Flip Murray, V. 2.0.
Afflalo, I really am not sold on him. He is a very good mid-range shooter with questionable lateral quickness....wait a minute, we now also have Rip, V. 2.0!
I did like the 2nd round pick of Sammy Mejia, a big point guard from DePaul. He is athletic and I believe will be a solid backup guard eventually.
All of the post-draft talk seems to center around guys that they didn't actually draft...will Billups re-sign? What about C-Webb or Dale Davis coming back? Will Amir Johnson be a legit backup wing next year? Too many questions surrounding this team, and I wonder how close they ever got to dealing Rasheed prior to the draft.

I really didn't like the Bulls taking Noah, don't understand why they needed another non-scoring post player. I did actually like the Sonics trading Uncle Ray-Ray a ton, I think Jeff Green and Durant will be very good playing next to each other.

Had a great time during the last 4 weeks with everyone, as always, it went by way too quickly. Just like Charlie Brown always said, "Summers fly, winters walk." Enjoy the fireworks the next few days, just don't roll any snap-and-pop aluminum foil tamales unless you want to be known as Captain Hook for the rest of your life.
