“Hey Adam,
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the experience in Germany. Good luck to you and your teammates in the up coming playoffs.
 My son Nile and I went to one of your father & son camps last summer and had a great time. Nile was able to talk to Leonard Houston before one of the Iowa Energy games while he was w/ that team, and he wondered if you guys had plans for another camp this summer?? We’d love to see you or hear from you if you come back to DSM this summer.
 Best wished,
 Lars & Nile”

Thanks for the comment Lars and Nile! I do remember both of you from our father-son camp. The camp was a lot of fun. Hopefully both of you found a few things to help improve your game. Sadly, being overseas severely increases the difficulty in planning a camp. It would be hard for me to do all the little things necessary to get one set up. Though I do not have one in place for this year, I am hope next year I will get some help and have one. I will be sure to let you two know. Thanks again!

“Nice blog. I will say you’re much better about keeping current on yours than I ever was on mine. It was good to talk to you this morning. I see you online a lot, we should talk more often. As far as the Relays are concerned, you missed one really nice day and one really crappy day, but it was fun. Once again, good luck in your final game and then the postseason. I’ll be watching the NBA playoffs and cheering for my Nugs; if I knew where or how I could watch your games, I would. Greg”

Thanks to Greg, my freshman roommate, for the wall post. And yes, since the Nuggets now have former Detroit Piston Chancey Billups, I am a Nuggets fan. I don’t normally get to watch the games due to the time difference, but occasionally I can catch a quarter or two. I really like the way the Nuggets are playing. You gotta love Bird-man. They play hard, they play together, and they play good defense. They remind me a little bit of the Pistons of old (sniffle, sniffle). At least the Red Wings seems to be holdin’ it down for Detroit Sports. No matter what has happened with the rest of Detroit, Hockeytown always shines.
