The Perfect hike
erased all the bad thoughts
beneath the sunshine
amidst the Doug Firs
the roar of the Umpqua below.
Thanked the heavens
said hullo to my old self.

21 MayWe Went There: Goosebumps in Oakland
18 MayRight up there with the Randy Johnson perfect game (2004) and the A’s-Giants inter-league game (2006) as coolest sporting events I ever attended.
There was this:
and this at the very end:
A very special special special thing to be apart of. Best NBA fans in the league by far. If KD decides to defect to Golden State when his contract is up, I may be moving back to Oakland.
The Grindhouse was rocking last night!!!
14 MayI would not be surprised if they gave Miami a run for its money in the Finals.
Perhaps this is the week where I take the time to smell the roses
11 May
Tonight I’ll shave the mountain
I’ll cut the hearts from pharoahs
I pull the road off of the rise
tear the memories from my eyes
and in the morning I’ll be gone
I drink 1000 shipwrecks
tonight I’ll steal your paychecks
I paint the sheets across my bed
the birds will all fly from my head
and in the morning I’ll be gone
take every dream that’s breathing
find every boot that’s leaving
shoot all the lights in the cafe
and in the morning I’ll be gone
I bet 1000 dollars
I have a french companion
I tie myself below the deck
I pull the rope around my neck
and in the morning I’ll be gone
it takes a life to win her
there is a drum of bourbon
800 pounds of nitro
his boots are thunder as he plays
theree is a stone inside it
tonight his bones will ride it
I’ll need a tent to hide it
and in the morning I’ll be gone
and in the morning I’ll be gone
and in the morning I’ll be gone

Geeking out……….on the playoffs
4 MayJust learned how to play this today when I was re-watching the Memphis vs. Los Angeles game from last night…..pretty easy actually C to E to A then F to E to A to C….
speaking of the Playoffs…Memphis looks nasty. If they go into the next round versus the Spurs healthy, I think they should be the favorites in that match-up. I think they will dispose of the Thunder in 5 games at the most. Durant will get his, but I don’t see anyone stepping up consistently to help KD out.
I think the Grizz could even make the Heat work for it in the finals if they can find a way to get the ball up the court.
For the Champion being a foregone conclusion (barring major injury to Lebron), it has still been an entertaining playoffs. I may have to see if I can figure out how to attend a game at the Oracle…..to be continued……..
I Heard the News Today Oh Boy…..
4 MaySpent that night last year longboarding around downtown Lawrence pondering the direction of my life……
and here I am again ……figuring out the next step
