6 - How Is This Even Possible ?

From the Facebook post little known facts about Josh Case Sr:

6 - Despite my love of basketball, I have never attended an NBA game.

This is a sheer tragedy, especially when you consider that I have attended 3 (three) NHL games featuring the Colorado Avalanche ... and I actually don't really like hockey at all.  I've also never been to an NFL game and I have become quite the Broncos fan in the last 15 years.

There is no reason other than time and money for which I have never attended an NBA game.  I shelled out over $100 for tickets to attend the NCAA Tournament in Denver a few years ago (when Jimmer Fredette was leading BYU to the Sweet Sixteen).  So money has a small part to play, but it isn't enough of a reason NOT to go.  I also have invested quite a bit of time attending and/or participating in sporting events, primarily basketball.  So that is not enough of an issue either.  It's really the combination of time and money that gets me I think.  That easily applies for never making a Broncos game (yet).


Song Of The Day:
Blues music is just awesome!  Here is the original recording of "Ain't That A Shame" by Fats Domino.  It is a shame I haven't (yet) been to an NBA game.  But I know it will happen sometime so there's no sleep lost here at night because of it.

How's The Elevation Treating Ya ?!

I often forget (because you just don't think about it all the time) that we live at roughly 6000 feet in elevation here in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The times I remember about the elevation difference are usually when I am reading articles talking about visiting professional teams having to come to Denver, CO for some sporting event.

You might not be aware, but the Baltimore Ravens had to come here today for their NFL Playoff game against the Denver Broncos.  Welcome to MILE HIGH + boys!  Hope you brought your oxygen tanks and masks!  (Editor's Note: Apparently the Broncos defense forgot to bring theirs ... how disappointing!)

Song Of The Day
I've had several friends share some of their favorite music with me over the years, including burning me CDs, etc. so I can expand my experience.  This song was brought to my attention by Linda Schow, a good friend from work.  Originally performed by the group Postal Service, "Such Great Heights" has been performed as an a capella song by many groups in the last 5 years.  The performance linked above is one of my favorites, done by Umass Dynamics.
