go pistons?

A couple of nights ago I took my godson, Parker and his best friend, Tyler to see our hometown Orlando Magic play (and lose to) the Detroit Pistons. I really didn’t care much who won but it was a great trip for Parker – he’s a big Pistons fan! Wow, the Pistons are really good – they ended up sweeping the Magic!

Yeah, Parker was happy! His godfather was happy because he got to have a soft pretzel and funnel cake! Oh, and I’ve got to give Parker some credit – he was all decked out in his Pistons jersey amongst a sea of Magic blue – he was one of maybe 50 Pistons fans in the crowd of 18,000+. And, of course I had my speech prepared if anybody were to question if I was with the kid in the opposing team’s uniform . . . “I’m with the Big Brothers program and I just met this kid today” was my first choice . . . option #2: “he spilled Kool-Aid on his Magic jersey so we had to pick-up this jersey on the way to the game – the store was all out of Magic jerseys” . . .

Fortunately, neither was required . . .
