There is a finance committee meeting going on in my office. My head hurts just listening to them talk about budgets and crap.

It's a comment that doesn't entirely make sense since current monies spent at Oriental Trading Company no longer benefit Harry Watanabe, the guy who turned it into a giant company.

After selling the company for a lot of money a decade ago he apparently got bored with early retirement and began gambling. A couple years ago he was losing so much that in one year his losses accounted for something like 5% of Harrah's Las Vegas revenues. Last year he sued Harrah's saying they should have stopped him.

You suddenly reminded me of:

He could, but he would have to kill you.

WTH Lakers. It's simple. If, in your half court offense, you dribble more than you pass, you lose. Reverse that, you win. Period. Why the hell do you seem to forget that?

Move without the ball, get open, make passes, and the Celtic's cannot beat you. It's not like you're trying and failing. Y'all just forget what works.

I cannot believe the Lakers pulled that off!

I really wish I could recapture the love of baskbetball I had back in late high school, early college. But as it is I watched the end of the game just to know who won and my primary thought was "good, hockey's done, basketball's done, get that soccer out of the way and the focus can be on baseball where it belongs."

Artest and Gasol won that game for them. Nice job.

Shhh,. I'm really trying to enjoy this 3 months of no hockey.
