Since moving to New York, Tracy has had the opportunity to rekindle a lost love by being a part of a competitive basketball team. Except for intramural ball at UNC, it had been more than 8 years since Tracy had last laced up the sneakers in a game with referees, foul shots and the occasional “accidental” elbow from an opponent.
The league has been great fun as both a competitive...
I have to admit that in the midst of being busy / life is a blur / travel / visitors / UNC beating Duke / etc, I’ve run into a bit of a “problem”.
I’ve had less to blog about.
Scratch that. I think it’s more accurate to say this: now that we’re more than 6 months in to our New York adventure, so much of what happens in the city has become normal.
Wow, New...
When life is a blur
I feel like the last 5 days have been a blur, and looking back, the blog activity (or lack thereof) seems to corroborate this fact. To recap:
Wednesday after work we prepared to host the gamewatching party for the Carolina-Duke game. After some swift vacuuming, dips in the oven, and platters placed, we were ready for the big game with more than an hour to spare. Somehow we fit close to 20...
The day after
I’m in a cab right now heading to the airport at 4:45am the day after the big game. I’m tired, but elated. It was a fun evening which included Tywon Lawson absolutely owning the 2nd half, as witnessed by 17 friends at our game watching party. Don’t ask me how we fit 19 people into our apartment. But do ask me how it feels to read this: “We’re not as good as they are...
If this doesn’t get you excited, you’re not alive.
Carolina - Duke
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Carolina – Duke game tomorrow night. I guess that’s not surprising given my background – I was, after all, quite literally Tar Heel born and bred, and spent the first 26 years of my life watching the epic battles in the best collegiate rivalry in all of sports.
But tomorrow I’ll watch my first Carolina – Duke game north of the Mason Dixon line, only a short hop...
I'm in love with StatSheet.com
I can remember as a little kid waking up on Saturday mornings and getting all my baseball cards out of various boxes, binders and closet crannies to “reorganize” them all over again.
Like a lot of kids I loved baseball cards, and even had a subscription to Beckett so I could keep up to date on the relative value of my treasure. Yet, for me, it wasn’t as much about how much my...
I Love Technology
Perhaps it’s because I spent the better part of 9 hours today at the OnMedia NYC conference hearing all about the next great thing in digital media, but I think the below is so cool.
After the conference today I had a dinner with a client so I was precluded from watching the Carolina basketball game against Maryland. The game came up in conversation over dinner so I was able to take a peak...
