I did manage to get some work done yesterday.  But I did see three basketball games.  My favorite was the 2nd game.  That is because I actually attended it and was with my favorite (BFF) bud and the senior citizen discount was 'free'.  We were also there with Russ to watch Cortney and her Bonneville Lakers.  Before I started this I looked up online and saw her 'line':  13 points  5 rebounds  3 assists and 4 steals (I had to go online because my paper was late again.)  For only playing 3/4 of the the game she did extremely well (sure she could have done better, but that is life's lesson too, not just basketball).  I was able to whisper in her ear as we left, my congratulations, and that she had made grandma very happy because she was able to see that she was not a jinx (Sheila did say that she still seems to be for Spencer--so we'll have to deal with that in a future time)  I know that there is this parent thing about living vicariously through you children.  I guess if you do it through your grandchild that there is nothing negative about it.  It is really a lot of fun.  But you have to take it both ways.  Cort's team in now 8 and 0, but our loyalty isn't for that anyway.  It is for her and her contest of life.  That is what we mostly share with her (and the rest of you-all) and we are there as much for the loses as for the wins.
