Something special

 I cannot believe that it's Saturday night and once again I'm sitting home quietly waiting for 8:00 when the Utah Jazz Hall tip off another basketball game. At least I guess that's something to look forward to. I don't know if I like basketball or the Utah Jazz but I'm finding them somewhat entertaining even though there's somewhat disappointing at the same time. This seemed to be a bit of a loser team for one reason or another whether it's players that are on the sick list mending trying to get well again enough to play or good players being traded out or however that's all done the other teams leaving us with folks that seem they could be great but just don't get around to becoming great. Perhaps I'm being too naive and too impatient for them to grow into greatness or grow up into something that some of the team wants to purchase away from the Jazz. It's Saturday night that means I have to get up early tomorrow so I can meet Mark and the kids for breakfast so I'll watch enough of the game to let me know what's going to happen. If the Jazz could generate enough lead they'll probably win I hope. Otherwise if it's halftime and they're down 10 20 points I just shut it down go to the bed so I can have enough sleep to get up tomorrow morning to meet the kids for breakfast. Either way it still leaves me home on Saturday night not doing anything better than watching the flat screen and I'm thankful for that actually. Luckily for me Mark was able to come by and fix it up the other night.


I actually don't feel as bad as I usually do when I don't do anything on a Saturday or a weekday or whenever. This morning I got up early enough dressed ready to go and went I'm at my friend Janet at the coffee shop where we enjoyed some coffee and did some gossiping about the people we live with. I was waiting for this big snowstorm to wander through which never really did and later on in the afternoon when I figured that the storm was not going to come in I saddled up and went over to the market looking for a few things to get me through the evening. I was going to go to Walmart and get another power strip but that didn't happen. I was able to get some popcorn however which I figured would be my treat for the Saturday night. I actually got a bag of popcorn as well as a box of microwave popcorn. Remember years and years ago and I moved in here I purchased a real life popcorn popper pan the kind you put over a fire or the heat of a stove and it pops the popcorn just like it used to do in the old days when I would have popcorn on Saturday night with my big sisters and watch how we Patrol when it was first done? Maybe that's what I was chasing today some of those feelings of the old days of popcorn in the doing something special on a Saturday night…
