Rockford had me look up something about some NBA player earlier this evening, and I ended up at Gilbert Arenas’ blog. The post about his hair had me laughing so hard I was crying.
I’m not kidding. He’s funny.

Love and basketball. And free music.
Maybe it’s because she’s watched “Love and Basketball” so many times. That might be the only thing that would explain it.
Once again, Amy has taken the top spot in our basketball bracket thingy. She also had the most hideous food story, so she wins two batches of cookies. Congratulations, Amy! I can’t believe you picked KU to win, though. Ugh.
Here’s how our standings looked in the end:
Cookies and basketball
When I was in high school, my best friend wanted to try out for the basketball team. We spent months in her backyard, practicing free throws and layups. Well, she practiced. I mostly just lounged in the grass.
A few days before the tryouts, she was getting really nervous. She didn’t want to go alone. So I went along to showcase my skills alongside her.
I was cut the first day. I think I may have been the first person cut. This was not a surprise. My friend, however, did make the team. My lounging in the grass had paid off.
My basketball skills have not improved since then. My 10-year-old nephew can easily beat me in Horse.
I am, however, somewhat skilled in the realm of Bracketeering. And when I say “skilled,” I mean lucky. Because I don’t really know much about the teams at all. I usually make my picks based on the mascots.
I’m going to test my luck again this year with the Double Dribble NCAA bracket challenge. Leave a comment on this post if you’d like to play along, and I’ll send you the password. (Make sure you include a valid e-mail address.)
The winner will receive fame fortune a dozen cookies from April’s Cookie of the Month batch!
