Last Night

So what'd you do last night? For most of you it was probably a regular Thursday night, minus must see Television.  It's summer so all the great TV shows are playing re-runs. For the Shepherd household it was anything but a normal Thursday night.  Last night was game 7 of the NBA Finals. 

My night started by eating a Kobe burger.  My wife, Monica, and I went to a restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday.  I saw a Kobe burger on the menu and I felt like it was only right to eat it.  I added bacon to the burger for Pau Gasol.  Everyone calls the Lakers big man greasy, so I thought I'd honor him and eat some greasy bacon. 

The game didn't start till 9:00 PM.  Around tip off some friends came over to watch the epic battle.  Now these aren't just any friends.  These are friends who don't really like the NBA or the Lakers, yet they cheer like they have been life long fans.  These friends come over to show their support for my favorite team.  It means a lot to me that they'd stay up till midnight on a school night.  One of them went all out to celebrate game 7. Here are some pics of the historic night...by the way the Lakers won!
