Monday & Tuesday

Sixty of us ate at little Dominic’s Monday night, in downtown Norcross. Pretty good Italian, and lots of it, family style. Afterward we went outside to the bank of the railroad tracks, to take a group picture. Just as soon as we got lined up, we heard the rail crossing signal, and sure enough, a northbound train came speeding around the bend.

Got home just in time for 24. Will had friends DJ, Joel Norman , and Alyssa over to watch, and eat dinner.

Monday we watched most of the 4th quarter, after the 24 finale ended. Years ago people said the Magic won to extend the series, to make more money for the league. I don’t hear that so much any more.

We watched a good deal of the second half. With the Suns in the lead, I thought about Reid pulling for the Lakers. Yesterday I had read a Grant Hill article. I like him and Nash, as well as Kobe , Walton, Gasol, and Phil Jackson.

Wonder if the Braves won’t do something with KK, especially when JJ returns.

Looking forward to reading the SI article on Justine Henin.

Another busy evening on Tuesday. Left work at 4:30 to run a work errand, but 285 west was pretty well blocked. Detoured to Will’s game at Sprayberry, arriving just after he walked in the first. Their 16U team beat an East Cobb 18U team 10-4. Will went 2-2 with 2 walks and 3 RBIs, and threw out a base-stealer at second. Seven of his friends came to cheer, all older girls.

Afterwards I took Will up to Sandy Plains to watch a friend’s game. I watched an inning, then went to pick up Anna and Matthew at youth group. Willis Norman is serving as the summer youth intern at East Cobb Presbyterian, where Becky and the boys go. Now all our kids go to youth activities when they can. Anna was happy young Will Acuff came with the Normans .
