Good night for the Cats; not so much for the Dogs. Arizona 81-USC 66; LMU 67-Zags 66. For Christmas Judy got us tickets to the Arizona-USC game. It was wonderful. The home team played well, the capacity crowd cheered loudly, and the Trojans left dragging their tired horse behind them. At home, the Zags fell short. The atmosphere at McKale Arena was electric, as I imagine it always is. The place seats twice as many as McCarthy, so you know the place was loud. I must say, even though there were more U of A students and a larger crowd, the place doesn't match the spirit of the Kennel. For our pre-game meal we ate at McDonald's. I now remember why I haven't eaten at a McDonald's in about two years. Not even the nostalgia of a 15 cent burger; 10 cent fries could make it palatable. So it goes. During the day, Judy worked out with her trainer who is introducing her to muscles she didn't know she had. She also made a return to the Native Seed Farm as a volunteer. A full day for my Bunny. She should be happy, but she's a bit chagrined because the cribbage gods have decided to favor someone else. After today, she's ahead a mere $.86 cents. As for me, I had my second private lesson with Sifu Jordan. It went well. Afterward, I got another hour in on the bike. For lunch we made our first visit this year to our favorite Taco Truck (Nene) down the road. We walked the three and a quarter round trip miles. It was well worth it. All in all, it was a solid day of desert living. Even though it was still cool (62), the sky was a cloudless blue, so needless to say, life is good, especially today.
