I think I’ve gotten pretty good at staying gone and not really updating this blog as often as I’d like. I guess I just don’t have the passion to maintain as I thought I would…oh well.
Last week I took advantage of one of the “rain check” movie passes I had by seeing “The Perfect Game.” Simply an amazing movie. It’s great for the whole family and it’s based on a true story…and it’s a baseball flick. Been a while since a gem such as this has come around. I loved everything about this movie…everything. This movie wanted to do some filming at Duncan Park in Spartanburg, SC, but the city refused. What a shame. Duncan Park is as historical field as they come, and should be enjoyed by viewing audiences worldwide. I give this movie 5 stars.
Last Friday I finally saw my first Spurs vs Mavs game, which just-so-happened to be the 3rd game of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. What an environment to enjoy a classic rivalry. In Texas this is known as the I-35 Rivalry. It was a chippy game in which the Spurs won, but nothing compared to what I would experience for game 4 on Sunday. That was an even more chippy game that San Antonio also won, but the finish was much more exciting. A win in game 4 gave the Spurs a 3-1 series lead; needing only one more win to advance. The Spurs went to Dallas to play game 5 and were unfortunately beaten quite heavily. There was no sense of urgency to close the series out. Now it comes down to game 6 in San Antonio on Thursday. I took advantage of the pre-sale special and will also attend that game.
I am excited about going back home for the 4th of July…been far too long since my last visit.
