SCATTER SHOTS

Spurs and Nets tonight. I'm trying to keep my optimism in check, but I still think the Spurs may dominate these guys. I haven't seen or heard an answer from the Nets yet...but who knows.

Speaking of silence...did you read about this guy? He's going in my Ignatius Reilly file. Doesn't speak for 29 years and his mother takes care of him the entire time.
There's some truth to the adage that children should be seen and not heard...but when they're still living in your house at 51 years old...they shouldn't be either.

Speaking of in the house....
There's an intern in the house..actually I have an intern at my office. That sentence has taken on a new meaning as a result of Bill Clinton hasn't it?

Anyway she's a nice young woman from Illinois who got the pleasure today of seeing what it's like to report to work at 3 a.m. and not have time for chit chat. I told her when she walked in, "This is the worst of times, this is the best of times. It's the worst of times, because it's 3 a.m...it's the best of times because if you really want to work, there's no one here to get in your way."
She got out of my way and after three hours of observing me in the daily frenzy I'm so used to of non-stop writing, audio editing, making calls and anchoring newscasts without getting out of my chair, I turned around and she was still there.
She said, "When do you pee?"

She's a keeper...she knows what's important.

Speaking of bodily functions....Aren't you glad you aren't the person studying this fascinating subject?
