Takin’ it to the hoop in Denver

Really … I know I’m no different than many other blogger … but I feel like I have nothing to talk about.

I know that’s not the case … really I do have fun stuff going on … but sometimes it feels like it’s not fun to everyone else.

I have been crazy busy with RKN Studio and with getting Zac where he needs to go - which includes golf matches, acupuncture apts (for allergies), basketball clinics, basketball tourneys and more.

Last weekend Ron and I went to Denver with him for a big basketball tournament that had some of the best basketball players in the nation.  We were busy the entire time going from one game to the next - we had five teams playing there.  Our team played well for their first official game together and I’m really looking forward to seeing how they do this season once they gel like in know they will :D.

One of our older teams - 17’s BTI Force and Select (a combo team) took home the championship in their bracket - that was very cool to see :D. One of the boys on the 17’s BTI All Star team even got written up by Scout.com and ESPN.  If you’re interested, you can see some photos from the trip on the BTI Hoops site (just uploaded them this morning).

We also got to take a site visit of Colorado University - met some of the coaching staff - checked out their locker room and then got to go onto their basketball court - pretty impressive.  The BTI players were all loving every minute of being in a gym like that and all kept saying, I want to play in a place like this.

Going back to the basketball tournament … if you’ve never been to a sporting event at this level, it’s pretty impressive.  There are a lot of players on these teams that will be playing College Basketball and even going into the NBA.  It’s not uncommon to see at least two or three dunks in a game.  The game is very fast paced and competition is stiff.  Everyone comes to win … and you can tell that’s the case when the buzzer signals game time.

Zac came home truly pumped for basketball again and that makes me happy. He really is on track to do some awesome things in the next few years and I certainly hope that he stays this excited about it all :D.

Oh … and we managed to convince Zac that Sonic isn’t terrible.  He has always said he hated Sonic … but a few of his team mates convinced him to try … and he doesn’t hate it anymore.

I’ll try to find something more exciting to talk about soon … really … I keep trying to come up with something fabulous … but then … Zac needs me to run him somewhere and I forget it.  Maybe I need to hire an assistant to just follow me around and type as I share the fabulousness that is in my head.  It’d be much quicker and I could do that from anywhere.
