Monday Moments - Bye Mavericks Season

April 11th, Ray and I enjoyed  Fan Appreciation Night for the  Dallas  Mavericks. It's been  a crazy season and they did not make the official playoffs.  But on this night, they won - absolutely played circles around  the  Toronto  Raptors. 

We also got to hear a little pre-game  special talk by Avery Johnson.  He is a man age 60 now, but was a player and coach back in the day. He did  take the San Antonio Spurs to an  NBA Championship.  Now he's in investments and also involved in basketball programs. Very personable motivational  speaker.  Nice  sense  of humor and he  gave us a variety of insights into  his career. 

Another treat - oh  yeah - a hot dog, soda, and popcorn  for  ONLY  $6.50.  Actually our hosts  treated, so it was "free" for us.  Then again, our hosts  are our  financial  advisers and they earn money from us. It's a full circle moment. 

Fun entertainment  - Simon  Sez - this is  a guy who runs a real Simon Says game very very fast during  half-time.  Tons of chosen fans were out there playing and he eliminated so many, so quickly.  It  was amusing to watch and to sort of play along. 

All in all, we enjoyed Fan  Appreciation Night

Simon Says - Have a Good Week!
