Go Jazz!

Doug has been very fortunate to get to see a lot of Jazz games this year. This all thanks to Cal, his boss, for generously handing over his season tickets. He often has Doug give these to clients; but, has let him keep many of them. I seem to usually be teaching or something, so he'll take the kids along. Which they love of course! Luckily, I have still got to see some great games myself. The one this night, against the Current National Championships, Boston Celtics, was an incredibly awesome game!! Not too many people expected them to win, despite their current winning strea, & they came out fighting. OK, let me rephrase that...they started fighting the second half. The first half, not so good. But, whatever...we got the W & the crowd was going insane. Got to love witnessing those moments in life!

The night started with Bear riding out on this killer Harley

Let the game begin!


Watching Garnett in action was a thrill as well...he's got skills, that's for sure!


This amazing 8 year old jammed on the drums @ halftime

Bear getting the crowd riled up!

Sadly, just 2 days later Jazz Owner, Larry H. Miller, passed away from complications to diabetes. He's done a lot for our city & kept the Jazz alive here in Utah. he was nominated Utahn of the year in 2008...a title he so well deserved. For all he's done for our city & state, we here will be forever grateful!

Larry Miller, may you Rest In Peace!

Lucky you, what an exciting game to be at! I love this winning streak they're on right now(8). Go Jazz! That was so surprising about LH Miller, I agree, he contributed so much to our State, economy, sports, and entertainment..what great accomplishments. I too am grateful!
