Thoughts

So Wil calls me Monday morning to ask if I wanted to meet up for lunch. But he is not capable of just asking outright, so we make idle chitchat at first. That would be fine in most cases, but I have interesting friends. (That and my disclaimer is that I have not been getting much sleep lately.)

Wil: Do you think you have ever scored 81 points at Lifetime in a week?
Me: Ummm, maybe.

Well, let me think about that. I used to go to the gym 3-4 nights a week and would play sometimes for up to 4 hours straight. I guess it is possible that in a 7 day period I played enough games where I amassed 81 points, sure. So I explain this a little and figure he would be satisfied.

Wil: You have no idea what I am talking about, do you?
Me: Not even a little bit.
Wil: It is all over Sportscenter.
Me: I have been at work and swamped since 5:50AM.
Wil: It is even on CNN News!
Me: Congratulations. Alas, I have not made my way to a TV since you told me it was on ESPN.
Wil: Kobe dropped 81 last night on Toronto.
Me: Oh. OH! Holy [expletive deleted]!

Silly me. On Sunday he as telling me about the outrageous day he had Saturday at the gym and the hours upon hours of basketball he played and how he was coerced to play under duress and blah blah blah. As soon as he asked if I thought I had ever scored 81 points in a week I thought he had so little to do at work on Monday that he was replaying each game from Saturday in his mind. He would have seen each shot he had taken. He would have added up each basket he made and totaled them to 81 points. It would be pretty amazing to do that in a series of 5 on 5 games played to 11 straight up.

So the moral of the story is that maybe my brain could use a little tune up. Maybe...
