Who's playing?

So we got tickets to the Rockets game last night courtesy of our realtor. We couldn't help but laugh at ourselves for not knowing who they were playing against until we actually got there. We showed up early to watch some of the players warm up and sign autographs, but being the huge basketball fans that we are, we couldn't tell who was actually on the team. The only guy we could recognize was Yao Ming, and that is because he's about 3 feet taller than everyone else. It was the only Rockets game that I went to where we actually won, so it was definitely worth spending $10 in parking.

Here are some pics...

Maybe Yao really isn't that big...

Apparently I play for the Houston Camry's.

Playing on water or ice?

Proof that we were really there...

Is this guy on the rockets?

Happy Stevie Wonder Day!

Well, it's December and I just realized that we've only posted 7 entries this year. So I figure I need to get on the ball if I want to make our quota of one post/month.

We just got back from one of the best concerts I've ever gone to... wait make that THE best concert I've ever gone to.... and that includes the Boyz II Men concert I went to in the 6th grade. Yes, I'll admit I used to like Boyz II Men. They were cool when I was young and I didn't know any better.

Anyways, Stevie Wonder is one of the greatest musicians in our time. He played for 3 straight hours before the concert ended, but he could have gone on for 3 days. I thought that with age he might have lost his touch or be a little rough around the edges, but he could still hit all the high notes and his piano playing was impeccable. Above all, he is a first class entertainer. In an age where the predominant music culture is filled with dancers, flashy video, and fireworks, Stevie can still put on an incredible show focused on the music. If you ever get a chance to see Stevie, DO IT! You will not regret it!

At the end of the show, some Texas government representatives pronounced Dec. 4th to be Stevie Wonder Day.
