Kings Win! (Again)

The SACRAMENTO Kings, this time!

Nancy, Larry, and I flew up to Sac to watch some pro basketball. Nancy and I both like the Kings more than the Lakers right now =( And it was a good excuse for a trip.

We stayed at the same hotel (Hilton) I stayed at when I came up for my high school reunion. Nice place.

One of my friends from high school (Jean) works at Arco Arena, and the four of us met up at the hotel later for a fun and very interesting chat.

The atmosphere at Arco is very different from that of the Staples Center. I can't quite describe it yet. I think I need more research [more tickets, more events =)] and then maybe I can put it into words some day.

We were excited to see Allen Iverson play (Denver was the opponent), but he was injured and didn't play at all that night. Bummer. But at least the home team won!

I HAVE VOTED =)

I remember when I turned 18...I couldn't wait to vote. I was so excited that I got to have a say in elections. I voted in every election that came up (except the primary that I forgot about because I was having finals at UCLA, oh well...)--and was happy about it. I guess I was not a typical young person--or a typical person, period, if I really think about it. Anyway, today is election day (Midterm Midtacular for John Stewart and Stephen Colbert =)), and I have to admit that I was SERIOUSLY considering NOT voting. I have a general unease about the state of government and politics in America, and I was starting to feel like maybe it WAS unimportant that I get myself out to the poles... Well, I left for work this morning without the information on my polling place, etc. I knew I had a meeting after work and an appointment after that. I was thinking again of giving up, but when I got to work, I discovered that our school library was a polling place! In an inspired moment, I got in the

Kings Win!

Nancy and I are the go-ers in our group. We are always getting tickets for something. A plane, a show...in this case, it was to see the Kings play hockey. It was my first hockey game, and I wasn't really sure if I would like it, but...I DID! We got some excellent seats and actually got really involved in the action. It still amazes me that they convert this space for so many different occasions (I, personally, have seen basketball, tennis, and now hockey here) and I couldn't help but wonder about the person whose job or career it is to design and oversee these spaces and transformations. It's pretty fascinating stuff. Final Score! It was great that the home team won!

Finally Fall

After the Halloween rain, it is finally feeling like fall in LA.  Too often after a small storm, the next day is a sunny, hot business-as-usual affair.  But today, the air still held a bit of a chill.  I actually needed the sweater I was wearing, my feet felt cold without socks, and it made me so happy. Bring on more rain!  Especially nice are those LA rains that come so conveniently in the night and are contained by morning, leaving only the grey clouds and crisp air.  Yes, more fall please!!
