-Did Christmas with the kids and grandkids tonight. Gave the grandkid her first “real” cellphone, the real McCoy. The look on her face, not to mention the tears that followed, when she realized it wasn’t the same as the janky *** phone that only let her text and FaceTime that she had was priceless. She is also 8 so there is that.
-One of my “step-grandkids” (I put it in quotes but we don’t consider them “steps”) is a huge UK fan. Bought him some cool gear and gave him my 1996 Championship plaque signed by Delk, McCarty, Pope and Walker (
@legalbeagle123 was there the night I bought it) He is 9 so he didn’t know anything about them. I did my best to explain how bad *** that 96 team was.
-He was severely disappointed in me when he learned that I hadn’t watched but about 45 minutes of the games so far this year. His look of disgust almost made me rethink my priorities, almost. It did take me back, glad he still hurts when we lose. The purity of kids and all.
-we win Saturday, 67-64, on a B.J. Boston trey, which propels him to greatness. (This prediction is only slightly induced by copious amount of bourbon)
