The Great PD and Big Blogs

The Great PD, aka Magic Johnson # 32, drove the family up to Boston Saturday morning so that he and his friend Keith could catch the Lakers play the Celtics at Boston Garden on Sunday. The place was jammed to the rafters and Plot was glued to the TV set back home.



It was a great game -- the kind of game and the kind of rivalry that make being a fan so much fun. Lakers won in the last seven seconds -- Kobe. You can't explain to people how great a feeling this is, until they become fans themselves.

After the game, Plot got a text that said: "Now we have to get out of here alive."

Then Sunday night Plot and Duck continued Tiapos Emerita Weekend by driving out Sycamore Valley Road (got that right) 'til it turned into Camino Tassajara (got that right) until -- uh oh (got several of those turns wrong). But they got there, and Big Blogs and George were waiting. So was Bandit, the new addition to the Big Blogs family.



Recently they had some construction done on the house, the purpose of which was to find more outlet space for the Big Shoes collection.



And don't worry about Bam Bam -- he is still there, still so fast you can't take his picture, and only marginally worrying about Bandit.



Dinner was delicious, and Plot and Duck got to take spanakopita home. The Plotniks and BigBlogisons used to spend time together, before everybody's schedules got crazy, and when Bloggie herself was still a member of Tiapos, specializing in moving everybody's best paragraph up to the top and writing stories about how her children were going to kill her. But they didn't.

And now the kids are out of the house (just about) and Big Blogs is going back to work. She starts today. No more working for shoes. This is the real deal.
