Athletes often give me hard time because they think I put unflattering pictures of them in TriHive. Here you go. We’re even!

It’s the sports nut in me that refuses to miss the Jazz revival in the NBA playoffs. The spectator in me just cannot walk away from the drama of AK47’s mental breakdowns or Boozer’s power dunks over Yao Ming. Last nights game six victory worked out well because the game started so early. I snuck in an hour run right after the final buzzer sounded.

I want the Jazz to go far in the playoff’s, but a part of me doesn’t like the idea. Basket could derail my commitment to training and I’d personally benefit if they’d just lose! However, I think the root of the issue goes much deeper.

Since my return from a 2.5 week illness I’ve struggled to find my groove. It hasn’t helped to be swamped at my day job, Universal Accounting Center or that I’ve been scrambling to get the latest issue of TriHive to your house. The May issue is one of the toughest to date–mostly due to our feature on Richard Barnum-Reece. He’s a complex guy and I’ve been working with a friend of his, Lorraine Slattery, trying to nail down the most appropriate picture of him. Some of you dearly love Richard, and some of you spite him. I think we pulled it off.

Anyway, I’m going into SG Tri a little bit undercooked and I’ve got some work to do before Vikingman. My fitness is not a lost cause and I need to remember the season is just beginning. I need to find the enthusiasm again. It seems that my last bought with a cold wiped it out.
