Surprise!
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
I was notified early this morning as I was packing my bags in Tampa that the second leg of my week’s travel, to Baltimore, had been changed until 2 weeks from now. So I took the opportunity to surprise Hannah with the early return home.
So, once I arrived in Cleveland, I picked up TJ and we headed over to BW to pop in on Hannah at her office.
The plan went perfectly and Hannah was pleasantly surprised!
Bonus points…
* I am looking forward to this weekend as a few of my college teammates are coming into town for various reasons. Friday night the plan is to head up to BW for the Indoor Track meet. This will be the first meet of the year for me… something about watching collegiate athletes run slower than they did in high school is not particularly entertaining to me.
However, Hannah and TJ went to a meet earlier in the year, but I opted for the NFL Playoffs… or maybe I decided to shovel the driveway with a plastic spoon… sorry, I can’t remember the exact excuse I used to avoid my attendance.
But Friday should be a good time with some of the old guard at the meet. We will have a blast reminiscing and retelling inaccurate stories that may or may not have happened during our college years.
* My thoughts on the Jamison trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers... I have too many. Maybe I will post a seperate blog entry tomorrow. Quickly though, here's some bulletpoints in case that blog never materializes.
- Ferry called Kerr's bluff... Kerr will lose his job at the end of the year because of it.
- I preferred Amar'e, but by keeping JJ, this was the 'smarter' of the two deals.
- Z, may or may not be back - sort of sad. The buyout will happen, but other teams are interested (Dallas specifically).
- I was a fan of a trade, any trade... and this is the one that was on everyone's mind for months - got to give credit for Ferry making it happen.
- For me, it wasn't about JJ... he is 2nd best forward on the team before the trade (Varejao is better overall), and now the 4th possibly that Jamison is here and Powe is coming back.
- Does this help or hurt LeBron's chances of resigning? That's irrelevant - a NBA Title in June is the factor, not who is on the roster in February 2010.
- Does this make the Cavs the favorite to win the title. Yes. But the deadline is tomorrow, more things can, and most likely will, happen.
- If there is such a thing as chemistry for NBA teams, then Jamison is a better fit over Amar'e. But I don't believe there is such a thing...
- Amar'e is a SUPERstar, and would have wanted his shots. Jamison is a star, won a title at UNC in college, he will come here, do all the little things right, and respect his role and what the organization asks of him.
- Amar'e is 27, Jamison 33... that's a lot of extra miles.
- In the end, I'm just glad we didn't pull the trigger on that Corey Maggette rumor!
