  6. I was going to leave a comment weeks ago on your "Basketball Gods" post cause I thought it amusing. Now, I'm just left feeling breathless. My bucket list for the summer is simple..."just keep moving." Yours sounds a lot more fun. I want a report on how well you do! P.S. A.M. needs you in Boston.
