Close, but no cigar

Hello everyone,
I realize it's been awhile since I've written. We had a game last night at home, but before that we didn't play for two weeks. And I must say, not much has changed in those two weeks :) The team we played last night was in 5th place in the league. We lost a tough one by two points at the buzzer. They tossed up a three that rimed out and the ball bounced right to the opponent for a ten-foot tip in as the buzzer sounded. I fouled out with about a minute left in the game so I had to watch the last events unfold from the bench - not fun. I played well though - had 33 points and shot the ball well. It was great to have a good game, but heart-breaking that it wasn't enough.

I got to see an old friend and teammate last night which was great. Bryquis Perine, who I played with for two years at UW-Green Bay was on the team we played against. He was on another team in Hungary and I would have eventually played against him, but he switched teams two days ago so we ended up meeting earlier in the season. It's crazy how small this world is sometimes. Me getting to play against an old teammate in Hungary - I don't think that happens very often.

Other than ball we got some more snow a couple days ago. There are just piles of it around here. Today was fairly warm so it's starting to melt and make everything a mess, but that's the way it goes. I also wanted to find someway to spend some of my free time. Although we have two practices a day, I do have some time that I could use better. I looked online and found a Christian website where I could volunteer online. Last week I officially became part of the web prayer ministry where people send in their prayer requests and I write a prayer back to them. It's fulfilling and a great way to serve God through others.

I guess that's all for now. We play again on Saturday against another good team so we will have our work cut out for us.

Take care and God bless,
Mike
