You *do* realize that the Michigan stint of your tour starts the day after Game 3 of the Shock-Liberty series, right?

One of us is going to have serious bragging rights.

Spent the bulk of the afternoon reading the end of Agnes Grey with a contented cat in my lap, and am now anticipating delicious seared tuna and alien looking vegetable for dinner.

Hi! I’m not outside, and I don’t follow any sport, but today was a nice day for me. Yesterday i was sick (small fever, headache when walking, sniffles, tiredness, etc.) but today I was much better! I stayed home from school, took lots of naps, and didn’t worry about anything. Also, I had some very very yummy Indian nan, which made my tummy happy. The skies are blue, and I’m considering going to lie in a park and rejoice that people are not hammering outside my window anymore. I am very happy about your basketball team too, as I’m a New Yorker too. I hope that niceness will continue for a while, so I can continue my campaign of blithely ignoring the coming winter. What winter?

I think I’ll put on some happy songs and dance. (MIKA, “The Show” by Lenka, maybe the Fratellis, who knows? I have an iTunes genius to make my playlist! Cool!)

Thanks for the post. I loved your “good news” post, especially the comments, and I’m looking forward to all the nice comments on this one.

P.S. I just re-read my post, so please put down any failings in sentence structure or comprehension down to being sick, okay?

My daughter is actually hoping that Los Angeles wins the West, because she really wants to see the Shock win another championship – she and Angie were in the crowd when they beat Sacramento in Game 5 in 2006 – but she doesn’t want them to play Seattle or San Antonio in the finals.

She loves the Shock, but wouldn’t even go to the Detroit-Seattle game because she couldn’t stand the idea of seeing Swin Cash play for the other team. Swin always asked about Brittany, and when Britt finally got to meet her, Swin asked how she liked her new room and her new kitten … Britt was so thrilled that she could barely talk.

And, of course, San Antonio has the nicest person alive – Ruth Riley. In 2005, my dad passed away after a long illness that started toward the end of the Shock season. By the time he died, Ruth was playing in Israel, but heard about it and took the time to contact the Shock PR person to get my email address so that she could send her condolences.

So Britt doesn’t want to see the Shock beat either of them. She wants to see them beat the evil Sparks again!

(Of course, that would require Detroit winning Game 3 tonight without Plenette Pierson while Indiana still has Ebony Hoffman, which is ridiculous, and then to beat New York while playing their home games in a university gym an hour away from the Palace.)

Things are going well down here in Miami too, despite the sullen weather. I just cracked 60,000 on my novel, and am plowing ahead with the end firmly in sight. It’s great to hit your stride knowing that everything is going to fall in place and enjoying every step of the way!
