Quick Thoughts that Temporarily Hide My Lack of a Solid Post

--Whew! That's all I can say after game one of the Spurs/Lakers series. This was a big win for LA, and I think it will sting San Antonio a little bit, but in no way do I believe that this series is over. Charles Barkley is not far from the truth when he claims that the Spurs are "cockroaches that won't go away."

--I had one of those moments in which I ignored my conscience in favor of a joke. In the midst of a twelve hour shift (following only a couple of hours of sleep), a co-worker asked me how I was holding up. I assured him that I was fine, but that I might have to "limp to the finish." I paused for a moment and said "I guess you could just call me Eight Belles."
