Against my better judgement I stayed up last night to watch the Pistons vs. Spurs championship game. And to Detroit's misfortune, the Pistons lost. Yesterday I was talking with my boss, and I was asked who I thought would win. In my complete lack of basketball background, I said that the Spurs would win. Disappointed with my response I had to offer an explanation.

I've been overloaded with physical work for the past 3 weeks or so. This weekend wasn't much better, I'm not saying it was all bad, but there is only so much stress the body can take.

Anyways, the reason I bring this up is because the housing that was so apposed by the wealthy community in NE Ann Arbor is finally near completion.

I feel compelled to note the passing of Pope John Paul. May he rest in peace. We run like a river Run to the sea We run like a river to the sea
