Celtics and Oprah (and some weekend links)

June 14, 2008 by Lazy Man 1 Comment

This is an interesting weekend for me. I’m very excited about two events tomorrow. In the morning, I get to watch one of my wife’s friends get her doctorate from Stanford… followed by a graduation speech from Oprah. It’s kind of sad that I’m not really interested in her for any reason other than she’s Oprah. I’m not exactly a fan.

After I’m done with Oprah, I have to hop on the Celtics’ bandwagon and root with some friends at a bar. I didn’t think I’d find basketball interesting ever again, but between Pierce coming back from the injury last week and the 24 point road comeback… wow, they have me captivated.

Lastly, I’d like to wish my own dad a Happy Father’s Day. I wish we could have shared the day with you.
