Beach Run
Good morning from sunny South Florida!
It's the NBA All Star weekend this week. There are also a lot of other things going on in our metro area. The Coconut Groove Art Festival, and the Miami International Boat Show on this weekend. I knew all these because the airlines tickets became very expensive during this week.
I watched some of the NBA All Star shows last night. To me, I have a sort of love and hate to the NBA basketball games. When I was a PhD student, I was a big fan of many sports here in America, especially the American football and basketball games.
The American sports systems are big, matura all have long histories. The pro football teams play 16 games in a regular season, the pro basketball teams play 82 games, and college football teams play 12. There were so many games going on during a season, if I watch all of them even just for my local teams, I would have spent too much time and no time for my research and study. So I decided at that time to stop watching the basketball games and only to watch the football games.
I did just that until I received my degree. And then this had become a habit. I am still a big fan of the football games, and not so much on the basketball any more, until LeBrown James came into town. Those 4 years were fun. Since then the Miami Heat had won 2 more NBA championships. I enjoyed watching those games. Yes, you would say I am a "fair weather fan". I can't stand to see my favorite teams losing in games. Right now, non of our local teams are doing well. That's Ok with me. This is what the sports is all about. You win some, and you lose some. I hope they will all turn around and start winning again soon!
