Long weekend
5/28/2007
It was nice to have a long weekend, not that I really needed it or anything. It was nice to do stuff outside, watch movies, and that sort of thing. Went to a friends house Saturday to play some multiplayer Wii then spent some time outside on my bike and out on walking trails around Rochester.
I'd like to take my bike to a path near a river about an hour south of Rochester but I think I need to ride it a little bit more before I go long distances. This weekend I went out a few times and it was pretty fun but pretty exhausting. One of the times I ran into an older couple geocaching at a local park. I stopped to talk to them, since you don't see that every day. It was their first time and they were trying to figure out how to use their GPS. I'm not sure if they ended up finding anything or not.
Since I ran into other people geocaching, I thought it would be fun to do today. I went looking for three of them in the area. Two of them were from a park within walking distance and the other was a little further away but also in a really nice park. I actually couldn't find one of them but I'll try again some other time.
I'm watching the playoffs right now. The Jazz are losing by a little bit against the Spurs. I've only seen a few of the Jazz games this year, all playoff games. Deron Williams is really a great player. He's like John Stockton except scores more points. Although I think he does give up more turnovers and his defense isn't as good. But this is only his second year. It will be interesting to see how good he is in another two or three years. The announces constantly compare his passes to Carlos Boozer to Stockton to Malone passes. They run the pick and roll just as well as those two did.
The Cubs keep losing, no surprise there. Their team is really good except for their bullpen. I believe they are near the top of the NL in batting average but their bullpen has lost over 10 games for them already this season. They need to trade for some good relief pitchers. If it were up to me, I'd try and trade Matt Murton. He's really good and young so can probably fetch some decent pitchers. The Cubs have several good outfielders in the minor leagues so I think they could deal with losing one.
