Did You See Damian’s Shot?

Fiction is wonderful to write since we get to create worlds and make fairytale endings come true.  Then sometimes real life provides us with those moments. I think Spec Ops Cat is still trying to get his hearing back after the end of Game 6 on Friday night when Damian Lillard put our Trailblazers into the second round of the NBA Playoffs with the buzzer beater shot.

So for today I am going to revel in that perfect moment and prepare snacks and goodies to watch the Trailblazers and Spurs in Game 1 tonight. Sometimes life is about basketball. Here’s hoping all the teams win, but since that isn’t mathematically possible, here’s hoping the best for our Trailblazers. Rip City!

Our Condors Have Landed!

Checked back in with the Oregon Zoo and look at the big birds we’ve got! Seems these three fellows have graduated from the Condor breeding program and will now take up residence at the Oregon Zoo. I think they may be the ultimate “Three Amigos!”

Is it just me or are these amazing birds showing off for the cameras? Endangered and the largest birds on the North American continent, these guys know they’re hot stuff. The public can’t see them until May 24, so they’re getting used to their new bachelor pad.

Check them out and have a great weekend. Happy Quirky Friday!

P.S. Go Trailblazers! Rip City! (Thinking LaMarcus learned some high-flying moves from our condors!) Must go round-up snacks for game time!
