My sleep has been very intermittent lately, and must confess, I get online too often as I'm procrastinating on my next project. In general, as I am in Riga, I force myself to stay up for east coast games, and conversely, go to sleep early and get up at 5-6 am to catch west coast games. It's hard on my productivity. I swore that this year, I'd only watch 1 Spurs game a week until the playoffs, but so far I haven't missed a game (including preseason and summer league).

I'm an addict, I think!
I grew up in Nevada, and have never even been to San Antonio! But my family is both military and from Virginia, so they followed Robinson a lot, and I started rooting for the Spurs when they drafted David. I became even more hardcore when we drafted Timmy as like him I was a compe ive swimmer (swam Division I), big video game and D&D geek (I used to work for EA), so I thought it was cool to have a great player with similar interests to mine. My dad also went to the Air Force Academy (though not at the same time as Pop). So that cemented things further. Now, living in Europe it was really cool when we had the Foreign Legion!
Being from Vegas, you pretty much have to pick your sports team, as we don't have major pro teams in the area (except the Runnin' Rebels in the Tark days!

) For example, even though I root for the Spurs, my football team is the Miami Dolphins. (Lived in Miami for 3 years post college.) Most Vegas area people end up fans of California teams, so when we swept the Lakers in '99, I was pretty much set as an anti-Laker, hardcore Spurs fan for life. Too much fun mocking my Laker-loving friends.
Cheers man!
