I’m pretty predictable on Friday nights, which is why my neighbor called me up and asked if I wanted his spare ticket to the Trailblazers game where they were solidly beaten by the Celtics. The other neighbor who was supposed to go was stuck in surgery. I can’t believe my luck; I had incredible seats and was in the row behind the Blazer’s CFO. I’ve never been to the Rose Garden and I’ve actually never been to a NBA game. Last time I was at an actual basketball game was probably to see A. C. Green play in high school.

It was a beautiful weekend, but I spent a lot of time inside finishing my taxes. I didn’t even do any work on the house, though I did talk to Jay the Contractor about a couple of things. I also sent an email to Portland Closets but that hardly counts. There are a whole lot of things I need to do, but taxes are taxes and it’s nice to have them out of the way. There’s no surprise there, a guy who is reliably at home on a Friday night finishing his taxes a little early.
