Because I haven't done such a good job posting the last few weeks this post is bound to be all over the place.
First off I am throwing in some pics of planting the garden. Kailey and Janalynn planted last week.
I have to tell a story that happened this week at the school. I have this student Jose who is full of attitude and has not really done well this year. I like the kid, he has a lot of personality and wants to be doing better, he just usually doesn't. I attended the Class Act field trip on Thurs(it is for the high achieving students) and so did Jose. Somehow he got a ride there, from some mom who was giving a ride to her son. Here is the funny thing. Everyone and I do mean everyone knew he wasn't supposed to be there. I saw him when I was walking in, I kinda chuckled to myself. Doyle saw him too, and she wanted to consult her list to see if he was supposed to go, I told her not to bother, I knew he wasn't supposed to be there. The teacher in charge, Ms. Decker, can't stand Jose, so I am sure that even if he qualified, which he didn't, she would have found a way to keep him off. A few minutes later there was Jose front and center on the second floor standing in this large window for all the world to see. He did a few blowfishes to add to the effect. I told Doyle that I wasn't gonna rat him out, and that I didn't think it would matter now. Within minutes Ms. Decker knew and was ready to rip his head off. She told the Asst. Principal who called the school and had the school cop come pick him up and take him back. I joked with his friends about his performance in the window they agreed it was stupid. The final chapter to this was when I saw him leaving at the end of the day he said,"See ya next yaar Mr. Fawson." He had been suspended for the rest of the year. I then said "Next time you are somewhere you aren't supposed to be it might be wise not make sure everyone knows you are there." He smiled and left.
It's just about official. This is the one year mark of Janalynn stumbling down the steps with Porter in her arms and breaking her ankle. Four surgeries later she is finally doing better. On the weight loss update she has now lost 30 lbs.
We went out to eat last night to Gabor Bros, a local place with Nathan and Sunny Wright and Jon Gerber. The food was okay, I imagine had I ordered something else it would have been better. Janalynn ate about 1/3 cup of Minestrone. AFterwards we watched the Jazz game at the Wrights. Here are my thoughts:
Deron Williams is fast becoming what everyone wished Stockton was. No disrespect to John, but everyone wished he would have shot more. D Will is averaging 30 pts this series. Hard to remember John scoring 30, I wonder how tough we would have been if he would have.
While Boozer's D is a little suspect he has to be the most skilled post player in the league--that left hand is unbelievable.
For once Duncan didn't whine when he fouled, I guess even he knew he committed the fouls.
Bruce Bowen is just a flat out cheap shot, can't stand him.
I hope this series doesn't end up like Golden State, with us being Golden State.

This is Michael D. Zito and I believe we have turned out like the Warriors. Only, the refs didn't give game five to us in the Warriors series. Now I know I will probably take some grief for this but Steve Javie took a chance to win the game right out of our hands. The fact that San Antonio shot twenty-three more free throws then we did is exhibit A. What team couldn't win with that sort of advantage. You can say that we weren't agressive and didn't go to the basket but if you say that then you are wrong. A perfect example of this happened in the second quarter. On a certain San Antonio possession, Tim Duncan created minimal contact with Memo and the officials called a foul on Okur. On the ensuing possession for the Jazz, Deron took the ball to the hole and did the exact same thing to Duncan that he did to Memo on the other end and there was no call. Go figure. The N.B.A. is a joke because of the star treatment of the players. Duncan gets in foul trouble in game three so the Jazz can win one game and then Comrade Javie comes and doesn't call a thing on the big dork. Officiating in the league is a joke and Javie is the head joker. When (if ever) had Derek Fisher been thrown out of a game? Javie decided to use his amazingly quick whistle to throw Fisher and Sloan out of the game. The N.B.A. is a joke but that will not stop me from watching my Jazz. I am sure the season is over so it is time to begin the countdown to Utah football. Go Utes.
