I Never Had Spring Breaks Like This

My grandson Dat is a basketball fanatic and had what had to have been the perfect Spring break for him. On Thursday night, he was in Anaheim to watch the Sooner crush the Aggies in the Sweet Sixteen.

Seeing a game like that would be enough to make any hoops fan happy. But it does not end there. The next night, he watched Kobe Bryant score 28 points for the LA Lakers in a losing effort against the Denver Nuggets.

That should be enough, but it does not end there. After the game, he was allowed to shoot around on the court. And one of the guys he bumped into was NY Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr...

"Like your do, man."

"No, I like your do."

    He's a lucky kid to have an experience like that, and lucky to have you as his devoted grandpa.

    It was his aunt who managed to do this. I couldn't even get regular season tickets to Villanova.

    Either way, that is a great story and something your grandson will remember all is life. Obviously you are a proud grandfather. As it should be.

    It's Beckham. Correction noted. Beckingham is a poser.

    Yeah, He had a pretty neat break. I'm glad his aunt was able to take him. He deserved it.

    Unfortunately, I've already had to delete two comments from a bigot.

    The hate that fills some people just boggles the mind. This is a good kid doing good things. Let's all just accept that, enjoy it and take the hate somewhere else.

    Completely unrelated, but I'm very concerned about what I've noticed lately. I go running in and around Trexler Park. It seems the people in these neighborhood are drinking too much of the city's lead water. How can anyone put a sign up supporting Darth Voter!?!?! How? Surely property values go down when such things are displayed.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
