Congrats Pistons

Congrats to the Pistons making their 6th consecutive conference championship. While they are big underdogs if Boston makes it thru the second round, I like that position for the Pistons. This year they certainly look more vulnerable then past years, but the reality is we looked more vulnerable when we won the NBA championship. So I'm looking forward to the conference championship series and expect the NBA champion to be out of the East.

Mother's Day Weekend

This past Thursday Demoree and I decided to take the open weekend and head up north to Traverse City to visit her family and then stop by my parents place on Sunday. We drove up there Friday night with minimal traffic and arrived in Lake Ann a little after 11pm. Saturday was a nice day filled with bean dip, running, Pistons last second victory, Red Wings 8th consecutive victory, steaks, and a short trip into Traverse City.

Sunday started off slow with us just hanging out a bit in the morning before heading over to visit Demoree's grandma. It was nice to hangout with her family, but we couldn't stay too long since we had a lot of driving to do. We then went over to Pigeon to take my mom out for dinner. As a bonus we had a nice show of some family videos from back when I was a wee lad. After that it was back to Ann Arbor to unpack and get ready for yet another week of work.

Stealing Others Entries

Call it lazy if you want, but after Sherry shared this with me I had to share it with everyone. So that I'm not accused of actually stealing I will let everyone know I'm getting this from a blog called "Overheard in Ann Arbor" from 2005. It basically up until last year this group would just post overheard conversations around Ann Arbor. Below is one of those overheard conversations...

Girl 1: ...and then he went outside, and then he started peeing!
Girl 2: HE WASN'T STILL HOLDING YOUR HAND, WAS HE?
Girl 1: He was! I don't think our relationship is off to a good start!

I wonder if they are still together?

Interesting Video

So I recently came across this video that I find rather powerful. Let me first warn you that it starts out quite corny, but there is a purpose for it and is rather necessary. Give it a watch.

Happy Birthday Dad

Hope you have a great birthday dad.

(Also happy birthday Matt O and Aidin and happy National Day of prayer...big day)
