Yesterday

I'll start off writing about the basketball tournament last night. Yes, a tournament that only lasted one day. He played three games in just over three hours. This it the first time that I've seen his team play. I have to say that I'm impressed with the talent on the team. My fourth grader did rather well. I think he scored at least one basket each game. One thing he does have to work on is his ball handling skills but other than that he's come along way. They won their first game, lost their second, and won their third game. Their loss was a thriller though. They only lost by two points. My son threw it up with only 8 seconds left but missed. He was near the three point line when he shot. The coach commented to him that with 8 seconds left three more passes could have been made before a shot had to go up. I'm glad the coach mentioned it because he doesn't take constructive criticism well from me.

Yesterday afternoon I went to see Twilight. When I read the book I had a certain image in my head... The movie was good, but I had higher expectations. I did see though that they will be making New Moon into a movie! For those of you that have no idea of what I'm talking about just visit www.stepheniemeyer.com.

I'm about to start reading "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb. I'm extremely excited about this new book. He also wrote "She's Come Undone" and "I Know This Much Is True". If you have not read either of these two books, I highly recommend them.
