Post-Meeting Solution

"There's a way to carry on
To push me out then place me back where I belong
There's a way to make anew
To resurrect the wishes that I wish for you"

When faced with obstacles, one must become resourceful and figure out alternate means to accomplish one's goals. Staring 8 a.m. meetings in the face and realizing the fragile nature of this bloggin institution, it didn't take much thought to figure out that I still have the 8:40-9:00 window open, the quick slot between morning meetings, in order to get some writing done. This opening doesn't necessarily appear every day, because stuff comes up all the time that needs to get done, but today is one of those free days, so here goes...
A quick amendment to what I said yesterday about Peyton v. Pats: Ty Law was evidently placed on injured reserve last Friday, so he will not be a factor on Sunday. Richard Seymour is doubtful for the game as well, which could cramp New England's pass-rushing style, but I still think Brady and Dillon will be able to score too much on the awful Colts D for Peyton to overcome.
Big win for the Lake Show last night, over the equally-struggling T-Wolves on the road. Kobe did have 31, but the supporting cast went on a 24-7 run with the franchise on the bench in the fourth quarter, turning a nine-point deficit into an eight-point lead. I know I can't expect games like this from the rest of the guys all the time, but 14 points, 17 rebounds, five assists and two blocks from Chris Mihm? 12 points and 11 rebounds from Caron? 10 off the bench for Jumaine Jones and eight from B-Cook? How can I not get excited? I also know that we won't go 16-for-35 from three-point range all the time (45.7%), but a good shooting night is another encouraging thing. I've come to grips with the fact that this year's team will continue to test my patience and loyalty, but because I've had to deal with losses to Chicago and Memphis, I can get excited about this one, no doubt. Hopefully this sort of a game gives Kobe some cause to be a little more confident in his teammates, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
Doug Christie got traded yesterday. Ha.
Gotta go. Short is better than nothing, I think.
