GO SUNS!! (Phoenix Suns Basketball)

Last night--I almost turned off my TV and went to bed when the Suns got down 26 points early on against the Cleveland Cavaliers at home in Phoenix.  It was a nail biter near the end but the Suns came out on top, and tonight they are in Utah playing against the Jazz at 7 p.m.  my time.  I have always been a Suns fan and Steve Nash was one of my favorites.  He now plays for the LA Lakers and they are currently without a head coach.

I splurged and went to breakfast at Joes Pancake House right down the street (Kolb & Golf Links) for breakfast.  Biscuits & Gravy, scrambled eggs and home fries.  MMMMMM---deelicious!!!  (Non-fattening of course).  And a couple of cups of coffee to keep me awake throughout the day!!

It was pretty cool this morning and it warmed up pretty nice during the day but now at near 6 p.m. it has cooled down drastically outside.  I know because I just came in from feeding our five dogs.  They have four dog houses so one of them have to double up with another to stay warm.

"RITIS" in my neck, arms, shoulders and hands is really bothering me with this colder weather.  It does not make a difference whether I am outside or inside, it hurts!!  Absorbine Jr. is my favorite treatment now for those pains.  It helps for awhile and then you have to re-apply.

Today was the birthday of my lady friend in Globe, AZ (Betty Gilbert).  She is 78 today.  I was talking to her on the phone and she was remembering when she turned 16 years old in November 1950 and she celebrated with her (then) boy friend (my older brother) and my Mom and Dad at a bar in Miami, AZ.  My Mom's birthday was Nov 11th and of course Betty's -- Nov 10th.  I don't know why I was not invited.  My birthday is Nov 4th.  I would have been 14 years old at the time.

I have one of those little dish electric heaters that I dusted off today and put back into service.  Our heat has not been turned back on yet for the winter.  After two days of cold, we are supposed to have at least 7 or 8 days of 70's daytime temperatures (one day in the low 80's).  After that, we will probably have to fire up the home heater.  I sure do feel sorry for the folks in New Jersey and other areas where they still don't have electricity back on and the temperatures in that part of the country are not as kind as they are here in Arizona.

Have a good day, the can man, virgil baker
