    I'm currently in Phoenix for the holidays. When I left IAH this morning, I happened to notice this particularly cute little girl of about 4-5 years old. Then her daddy picked her up, and she went up and up and up. Jebus Glen Rice is taller than all hell. A lot taller than he looks on TV, anyway.

    It being the holidays and all, and since he was with his family, I didn't want to bug him. I did say hello and asked him how his knees were doing as I shook his hand. He said he was doing better. I said something about how I couldn't wait to see him back on the floor again, and that was the end.

    Sorry, no pics or blood samples. He seemed genuinely nice though, and shook my hand readily. I admit Iwas a bit star-struck: he's the first all-star I've ever met.

    Go on, Glen and get better. I think I found your shot at baggage claim.

    hehe :D

    I've met him before at the Galleria. I also shook his hand and he gave my girl and autograph. I think he was with the Hornets back then and I asked him to take it easy on the Rockets that evening. He was pretty nice to me too.

    I saw Willis yesterday in Neiman Marcos. Unlike some people, I 've been around these pro players a lot, so it doesn't strike me like some. I gave the standard , whats up, with the head and continued my shopping. I think Glen is on the il to get his conditioning down more than him actually being injured.

    Ha, no I just meant "up and up and up" because Glen's so damn tall. He looked a hell of a lot taller than he ever does on TV, which is to be expected of course, he's just taller than I imagined he would be. I've stood next to Jason Collier, so I didn't expect Glen to be quite so tall.

    Really nice guy. I never expected him to be so nice and cool. I guess I just expected more....well....something. He acted like a friend I hadn't seen a a long time, and not like some multi-millionaire super star.
