The new Freedom Tower design was released (if you don’t remember, the Freedom Tower will replace the World Trade Center) to a plethora of bad reviews. And I will jump on the bandwagon and continue the bad reviews! Read about the new building here: NY Times, Houston Chronicle, MSNBC, CNN.

Well, I bounced back from a bad game with a much better performance. By the end of the summer, I should be in fairly good shape.
Points: 6 (3 of who knows how many shots; lots of putbacks)
Rebounds: 12 (maybe more, I lost count)
Steals: 0
Turnovers: 0
Minutes: 37 (I’m starting to get back in shape)
But we lost. [...]

I’m not really sure who voted for this but O’Connor, [...]

Statline:
0 points on 0/3 shooting (and two missed free throws)
5 rebounds
1 block
0 steals
3 fouls.
and we lost. We lost to old people…but that’s okay.
By the way…free throws are the hardest shot in all of basketball…next week I shall return w/ a vengeance!

So yea, I dropped a 222 bowling tonight…That’s right folks, I cracked the big 200 mark with a stellar score. Five strikes in a row; and a spare or strike in every frame except one! I rock

In the May issue of Fast Company. Alan Deutshcman made some great points…so great I highlighted them in the magazine (a first for myself). The quotes below are made by Dr. Dean Ornish (as part of the article) Enjoy…
