Finally.......

After waiting 22 years, I can finally say: Celtics NBA Champions!!!!

It was a great season for all Boston fans. Being from Arkansas, we don't have any professional sports in our state. One night, a long time ago, I was watching an NBA game on TV between the Celtics and the Hawks. I said whoever won the game would be my team. That night, the Celtics won. I didn't know much about the NBA at that time, I was only 7.

The Celtics had the biggest turnaround in NBA history. After only winning 24 games last year, they won 66 this year. And the way they won tonight was just incredible. Being a Celtic fan, it's always sweeter when they beat the Lakers. Tonight, they didn't just beat the Lakers. As one commentator stated, "they got obliterated." 131-92.

Celtics win the series 4-2. The interesting stat in the series for me is this: LA averaged 115 points a game in the playoffs. Against the Celtics, they hit the century mark only twice. Both times was barely over 100. They went 1-1 in those games.

Congrats to Pierce, Garnett, and Allen on winning their 1st Championship. It's long overdue!

Funny Email

I received an email today. It was junk email, but funny anyway. i didn't open it, fear it might be a virus. The title was: "Your Better Half Making You Sick? Cheer Up"

If she is my better half, why would I be sick?

Mom

I called my mom today because my brother is staying with her and I wanted to wish him a happy birthday. I ask mom what was she doing. She said she was watching a TV show called "Mobile Home Makeovers". They go to trailers and redecorate them.

I had to ask, I couldn't help myself. "Mom, are you watching the Redneck Channel, again?" [Country Music Television]

I couldn't resist the obvious follow - up question: "Are you next week's feature?"

She laughed..... but then said "Shut up!" Then she said something I dare not write...... LOL

She then told James to come get the phone. What was really funny was that James also asked her about the Redneck Channel right after I did.

Happy 45th Birthday, James.

Living in Taiwan

As some of you know, we are buying an apartment here in Pingtung. This is really a very important step for us, and for me personally. It is big because it shows that I will be here permenantly. I am happy that we are able to buy the apartment, but, at the same time, I realize that I will only go to the US to visit, not to live, unless something tragic really happens.

Rain

I guess it is officially rainy season in Taiwan. In the last 2 weeks, we have had 2 days with no rain. But, don't worry: rainy season will be over in July. After that: typhoon season!!

Moving

Just want everyone to know: I HATE MOVING

Thank you. Now, you can get back to you regular scheduled life.

New Computer

Today, I finally broke down and bought a new computer. I wanted a Mac, but, alas, didn't have the resources [$$$$$] to buy it. I bought a computer with Vista, so, I am trying to learn how to operate it. There is one thing that really made me smile about it: the first sentence was "my native language is English." I could have chosen either English or Chinese. Hmmmm. Hard decision. LOL I am so glad that I can actually see what I am clicking and don't have to worry about deleting something.

I hope that I can learn the movie maker, music editor, things that can help my blog. Will keep you posted on the progress.
