Game Day for the Ellis Family

[Darkwaters]

Great to hear Kori Ellis. As crazy as it was, those are the kinds of memories your family will be talking about in 20 years. Especially if the end result is one of these:

The day starts off great today... and then:

A wind/thunderstorm hits San Antonio on Tuesday late afternoon.

A huge -- I mean huge -- tree falls from our neighbor's yard into our yard, landing on our fence, doing some damage and scaring our kids.

The power goes out, causing Kori to lose part of a big work project on her computer.

The power comes back but the internet is out.

Don't worry, we have back-up internet. WTF?! Back-up internet and cable TV is also out.

We make a game-time decision to go rent a hotel room near our house to watch the game.

We get to the hotel and the room has a non-HDTV WTF?! but we Neal with it.

1st Quarter: The kids destroy the room like it's a frat party, smashing chips into the carpet and spilling sodas.

2nd Quarter: Our youngest son blows out his Pull-ups, while wrestling with our older son -- resulting in crap all over both of their clothes -- and the wall in the hotel room.

3rd Quarter: Our older son, overflows the toilet, causing a flood in the bathroom. We turn off the water source and use 12 towels to recover.

4th Quarter: Danny Green and Gary Neal are raining threes. Spurs head to Game 4 up 2-1.

We leave the hotel and come back home. Internet is back on.

timvp is upset about Parker's injury. Kori thinks the Spurs are going to win a le. Ellis kids are still awake after midnight.

How was your day?

So what you're saying is that you basically just had an old school GTG.

[T Park]

I meant knowing that could happen was good birth control for me.

easy killer.

Drink draino. Tbh

[lefty]

So basically the rest of us missed the best parts of the 2nd and 3rd quarters

Got up at 5am, an hour earlier than I should've, left for work, turned on the ESPN internet radio and listened to the game. Many a pumped fist was had.
Now I've eaten lunch, pretending to work whilst not worrying about TP's injury and laughing at my 5 year old sons new haircut. A mini-mohawk, complete with shaved arrows on the side.

Been a good day so far!

That sounds like some birdman right there... next up.... neck tattoos!

[hsxvvd]

I had a tooth shatter into pieces three days ago, but held off until today to see a dentist, so I could get a doctor's certificate and take the day off to watch the game.

[timvp]

Today was a damn great day, tbh.

An absolutely Spurs story thanks for sharing.

[Kori Ellis]

So... who do you guys think should pay to move the tree? Us? Neighbors?

USA wtf?

Or just remove it on your own SPURS POWER !

If the roots and trunk are/were in their yard, it's their baby. Their homeowners should take care of it, but it's on them one way or another.

Neighbors. Their tree.

[polandprzem]

If the country cannot do it then neighbors when it's their own tree

[Kori Ellis]

USA wtf?

Or just remove it on your own SPURS POWER !

If it were easy, we'd just move it and trash it. It's like a 40+ foot tree.

Yup I was j/k

True. Funny (messy) day, but really good.

Even though I have to re-do my work

Rinse and Repeat, Kori.

No, even at this age and in a different country - they know which team is the correct one to be following - I'm not THAT bad a parent

Btw. weather is a this couple of weeks in the States and in Europe

Werent you from northern Poland ? Weather is beautiful here.

[temujin]

Told my son NOT to wake up in the middle of the night to watch a basketball game.
"You are up with some important tests next week, stay crisp during the day and focus on them!"

Woke up for breakfast, bad sign: when Spurs win, he usually wakes me up.
Meet him in the kitchen for breakfast.
Silence.
Terrible sign.
Finally I ask: "So they lost?"
He says nothing.
"Was it close?"
"No".
"So did you wake up to watch them lose?"
Silence again. Then.
"I did watch the game and didn't regret it a bit. We need to learn how to record this thing from internet, because this is one for the ages. Nillo and DVerde scored like 15 3s. Ridiculous."

On to a nice day.

[heyheymymy]

Rinse and Repeat, Kori.

Been there, done most of that. Just not all at the same time.
