home from basketball...beers...tired...hmmm...

tuesday night. 11:30pm. i am home from basketball. and i am drinking...oops...finishing my first beer. an export if you're wondering. i got a soft spot for the export really...or at least some sorta pseudo-anti-bourgeois...yeah it's bullshit. i just kinda like it. so there you fancy pants's. or something...
basketball was pretty awesome tonight actually. i wasn't looking for my shot so much cuz i was seeing the court really well and i threw some wicked steve nash passes - mark got a full court bullet that he dropped in behind all the defenders, gary got a sweet little drop off down low, same with saman, and i posted up long enough for boyd to cut hard to the hoop and fed him a perfect bounce pass right in stride and right into his hands on the way up to the basket... not that i didn't hit my share of hot shots...i was finishing around the basket with _my left_ all night, and dropped this great shot while getting hit. it was pretty cool. you'll just have to trust me.
we had a really nice weekend all round. friday night brook and mark and i went to the raptors game - first time just the 3 of us got to hang out for a long time. and it was a lot of fun. the game was kinda silly but also a lot of fun. the beers after the game were totally great too. saturday night was dinner with sarah's mom who cooks a mean turkey. it was just really great. and sunday we went to cambridge to visit my mom. first though we saw my grandparents and it was maybe the best visit we've had in about a year. my nan's got a new doctor who has completely straightened out her meds...by taking most of them away or drastically reducing them. and she's so much more alert and present now. we had such a good visit with them. they gave us our wedding present already. a whole lot of money. much more than i ever expected. it was very touching. made my heart kinda swell up...
and it was a good visit with my family too.
oh boy...i thought i had so much to say but i'm winding down real fast. i think i'll have to leave something to talk about some other time. good night.
