Hale's on Fire Part II

I had to recycle the flaming basketball picture because Elliott had another great game last night. We were away on the cruise for a week so we missed a few games. Elliott played some on the boat and actually got a medal for finishing in second place in a free throw shooting contest! Some old guy beat him. That is pretty remarkable considering we were rocking pretty hard with winds over 40 mph during the competition! Anyway, last night was his first night of basketball on solid ground and he was on fire again. At the end of the first quarter, his team was down by 4. With 10 seconds left, he stole the ball and drove down for a layup at the buzzer! First play of the second quarter, he swung open and nailed a 3 pointer! His 5 points put his team ahead and they didn't get behind till the end of the game. Due to league rules, Elliott had to sit out the fourth quarter (he played the entire game till then). When he came out, his team was up by 9 but they wound up losing by 3! The guy Elliott was on started hitting 3 pointers and Elliott's replacement couldn't shut him down. Elliott wound up with 7 points, two steals and several assists. His next game is Saturday and then it is the play-offs next week.

Hardly anyone showed up for my basketball night last night (Valentine's Day) so I canceled it after waiting around for 30 minutes.

I had an excellent phone interview with a consulting firm earlier this week and am going in for a face to face interview on Monday. The job looks really interesting and a great change of pace. I am pretty excited about it.

I am still working on cruise stuff (pictures, video, recap, etc.). I will get stuff posted here or on the website pretty soon. It was a great time. I am ready to go again...
