    I sometimes go to work later after I follow a Rockets game the night before (+ 7 hours from Houston). Fortunately, I can decide how many hours and when I work myself.

    i showed up an hour late to an old testament final at baylor to watch game 5 of the rockets vs. clippers in 1993 playoffs...when mad max hit the shot to seal the game and the series. man i hated mark jackson and the clippers that year with that goofy little dance he'd do after he hit a shot...:mad:

    went into the classroom with a maxwell jersey on an hour late! :) made an "A"! :D

    Monday may be a test for me. We don't have MLK day off and the Rockets have an afternoon game. I'm torn.

    If I wasn't off Monday, I would have a bad case of the ****s.

    Why do the Rockets always play early on MLK day anyways? Remember when they played at Atlanta last year and KT got in a fight with Shareef. I haven't liked Shareef every since that.
