Yao-ser

With plans to attend a Hornets game tonight with some family, I needed to leave work early. But I didn't. So we were behind from the start. Then I learned that Darby didn't get her homework done in after-care as I had asked. So she almost got to not go to the game, but she only had math and was able to get it done in the 15-20 minutes we had prior to heading to the game.

It turns out Darby could have had plenty more time. While we planned to get to the game early because the crowd was expecting to be large due to Yao Ming's presence in OKC, my aunt forgot the tickets at her house, 20-minutes south of my dad's, where we were meeting-up. So she had to head back to her house for the tickets, which put us rather behind.

We did make it to the seats just in time for the start of the game, but it wasn't without some complication (further delay due to afforementioned big crowd traffic, another brief who-has-the-tickets moment, etc).





The game was reasonably exciting. The Hornets were winning at the half (54-45), but had a TERRIBLE third quarter (10 pts) and so fell behind for most of the rest of the game. They took the lead again late in the 4th, but couldn't hold on and lost by one. Oh, and that halftime show... OUCH!
