Also sign up now for spring recreation sports leagues. Registration is now open for spring soccer, softball and basketball.
And speaking of basketball, I went to the Lakers game a couple of weeks ago. For those of you that don't know the Los Angeles Lakers are my favorite sports team period and Kobe Bryant is unquestionably the greatest player that ever picked up a basketball (that's right he's even better than MJ). I went with some of my coworkers and we managed to get there about an hour before the game to see the players warm up. Usually the big time players never warm up with their teammates but Kobe was this time so I fumbled my way through a throng of onlookers trying to take snapshots of the talented player. I was literally standing two feet away from him! It was a rare moment and I took full advantage of it by taking a few pics rights next to him.
We had a blast, but we knew that this could be the last time the L.A. Lakers would ever come to Seattle again, because of the Sonics managements persistence in moving the team to Oklahoma (could you imagine the Oklahoma Sonics?! Yikes!).
Anyway...lets get back to business. I somehow managed to finish my papers for business class, which has led me to become mentally and physically drained. The papers were essentially reports on the Apple company which has been at the forefront of electronic technology. The success of their iPod is amazing as well as their other accessories such as the Mac. The next paper I have to write for that class is a report on a public company of our choice. I chose Starbucks because it is well known, and their mochas (while pricey) are still really good.
Anyway, that does it for me today. Go Lakers and Huskies!
