THE DISTAFF SIDE AWAITS

I don't know everything that went on in Dallas last night, but I do know that one group of men and boys from Kansas had a high-flying time. Uncle Dane knows how to show kids a good time.

Among other things, they went to see the Mavericks and Magic play...well, specifically they went to see Tracy McGrady of the Orlando Magic play. They've been looking forward to attending their first pro basketball game...and harboring dreams of being able to play ball like that.

Tyler called on the way to the game from some special transportation Dane arranged to say he was really enjoying his "quality food", which is always high on his list. He gave me a rundown on the "excellent" veal Parmesan and a special chicken-artichoke dish that he got to watch the chef prepare, etc. That kid may end up being a chef. He avidly watches the food channels, if you can imagine.

It was good bonding time for Tyler, Drew, Rod, Mackenzie, Todd and Dane. They agreed that it was better anytime than opening presents under the tree. I agree. I'm sure we won't hear all the details of their trip, but most will come to light over the next few weeks.
