THe last 10 minutes of the Ramesh goes on a date and Sheldon ruins it one. We were laughing our butts off. "Dude, that's just like the time Los third wheeled with Niket and...."

Since our troops are serving across the globe, I thought this would be a great way to help them connect with their moms back home in a really sweet, personal and fun way. Our troops can write a note or make a simple card for mom and then snap a pic of it with their digital camera or mobile phone. Then just upload it to Qipit.com where it will be turned into a crisp, clear .PDF for sharing with mom. What's I think is so cool about this is that it's free, and it cleans up the text so it doesn't look like a camera phone shot - Best of all it's an immediate way to send a personal note with a whole lot of love across the world. This would also be a great way for kids who are separated from their military moms to say Happy Mother's Day with a homemade card right to mom's email address without the need for a scanner, etc. I think it's a pretty neat little project and we're really excited about sharing it with our military and those who support them.

Boq - while the spa wasn't fiendishly expensive, I'm thinking I don't wanna hafta refill it alla time - especially after *I* displace some water! Soak and jet massage... that's the ticket! Oh, and Ry - yes, I know them all.

They made a very smart decision early on: "Derrick Rose will not beat us". They beat Memphis on the glass all night long, both offensively and defensively. Our big guys got in foul trouble early on and Kansas took advantage, just like a great team ought to. Memphis could not play their style game and the fact they were in the game at all is a testament to their pure athleticism and selflessness. You don't see a great deal of set plays from them, they just run the ball around the court, pass the ball around and force you to make a mistake in coverage and they're gone. Memphis, by all rights should have won the game. Up 9 with 2 minutes remaining. The game should have been over. All it would have taken is one more free throw made. If they are 2 for 5 from the foul line, instead of 1 for 5, they win that game in regulation. But it's hard to shoot free throws with your hands around your throat. My hat is off to Kansas, they played a great game and capitalized on their opponent's mistakes. Just like a great team is supposed to. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/hi_fires_8_apr_2.html#comment-71671 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/hi_fires_8_apr_2.html#comment-71671 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 09:17:09 -0600
