If you just smile

Katie is working tonight and she asked the real writer to fill in for her tonight on her blog. So I (Greg) will be handling "duties" tonight. These are things I am grateful for and I would think Katie too but if not too bad for her.

1. Cheering on the Bulldogs
We won, obv. 70-53. Siena kept it close for a half but they will have to enjoy the NIT, and can watch us on TV in March. It was also great to be back on campus, its such a nice looking school. We also had a little "conversation" with some Cops, I guess some things never change. Can you say power trip?


2. Cameron being happy to see us
Owen and I have been smiling and "talking" with each other for a week or so now. Cameron however has seemed reluctant to smile purposefully for anyone but Grandpa McGuire. Today when we returned from the game he saw his Mom and was so happy and smiley. Then he saw Dad and gave a big smile again. Melts your heart.

3. The 2010 Winter Olympics
Being that its winter, I have fallen victim to the ghost of presidents past and am home all the time I love having something to watch. I have always enjoyed watching the Olympics but watching on my current TV with my boys makes it that much better. I watch anything Olympics so much that Katie asked me if I thought it was my civic duty to watch them. "No girl! I am watching to see someone be the best in the world at something." I don't care what discipline that is in its impressive. USA! USA!

4. Unlimited Texts Plan
First of all if you don't have Verizon, you're dumb and I probably don't call or text you much. I love my unlimited text plan. Without it I would not be able to talk to all that I do. I also would have to small talk with people that have no need for that BS. It has also given me a great excuse to take a million pictures on my phone and send them to my family and other Chicagoans (on Verizon.)

5. Willie Veasley
Veasley from Freeport, IL (I have partied there) is the winningest player in Butler University history, with games remaining. Big Willie (he is not tall but plays big) has gone from the role of assignment defender, to rebounder, to shooter and now to all around baller. On senior day today some fans may ignore his departure but I will miss him and so will the Dawgs. B-U...T-L-E...R you a Bulldog?..Hell yeah!
