ERBSVILLE KARTWAY!
We had a great time yesterday at the Erbsville Kartway!
It's was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to socialize with my co-workers. After all, we have to be so serious while we're at work (well, maybe not all the time).

RAPS TRADE!
Here's a report from the newswire from late last night...
It appears T.J. Ford's days in Toronto are done. On the eve of the NBA draft, Raptors president and GM Bryan Colangelo reportedly agreed in principle to a deal to send Ford, plus Rasho Nesterovic, the team's No. 17 pick in Thursday's draft, and a player to be named later to Indiana for forward Jermaine O'Neal. The deal cannot be finalized until July 1, when Ford's base-year compensation tag comes off the books. O'Neal is a six-time all-star, but is coming off a couple of injury-plagued seasons, playing just 42 games for Indiana this past season because of a problematic knee. He will earn US$44 million over the next two seasons.
Aside from O'Neal's injury problems, he also did this during a fight with Detroit Pistons' fans a couple years ago...
Yikes! I hope he's got it out of his system before he moves north of the border.
O'Neal is a great player - when he's healthy. He's been with Indiana for many unproductive years now and he - and TJ Ford - both could benefit from a change of scenery.
I like the trade! GO RAPS GO!!
