Many of the in-site links are not working properly.  Clicking on, for instance, “Read the rest of this story” or the page links do nothing.  I assume this might be connected in some way with the way I have Apache redirect the site, or something in the theme or WordPress settings is corrupted, but don’t know for sure.

If any of the zero entities reading this post have an idea, let me know.  Of course, the comments link doesn’t work either, so I’m not sure how you’d do that.

Update: Apparently WPG2 (the Wordpress Gallery2 plugin) was causing the problem.  Disabling and re-enabling it seems to have fixed the problem.

Led by the draconian and dominating David Stern and his dazzling defensive demonstration against the duo of Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Phoenix Suns tonight to win their series and end the NBA season.  I’ve heard rumors that there still may be some games played, but obviously they are all pointless as the winner of this year’s championship will certainly be irrelevant.

That being said, and as stupid as the rule and the ruling were, the Suns have to take some blame for having such a thin bench, and, related to that, not at all playing any of their bench players.  I have to believe that Jalen Rose still has enough to be a factor, or at least not a detriment.

On the good side, besides the upcoming draft lottery and the lottery itself, I am now free from wasting time on sports for a long while.  Thanks Draco Stern.

Update: Phoenix lost the game, though they certainly give it their all. Now they need to win the last two games, a tall effort. In unrelated news, here’s hoping the Bucks win the upcoming lottery. Daddy needs a new pair of… Greg Oden or Kevin Durant.

Bill Simmons of ESPN has said it all more eloquently and completely than I could, or would want to. All of the 0.5 people who read my blog are probably not aware of the incident which occurred during the last Spurs - Suns game. So I will briefly go over it.

In the final half-minute of the game, the Suns had a lead and the ball. Steve Nash was dibbling in the back court up the sideline when Robert Horry hip checked him into the scorer’s table. Some of Nash’s teammates sitting on the bench at that time were naturally disturbed by these turn of events, seeing their MVP and friend flying into a table, so they took two steps towards him before remembering something and returning to the bench.

I have broken my rule of having only one blog post per month.

China changes a man…

Friends of mine, the indominatable Jody and Ryan, have offered to send me a package from the States. Now, it is up to me to find some things that are not too heavy, too expensive, too large, or too fragile. Sadly, that leaves out tortilla chips, root beer, avacados, tortilla chips and root beer, among other things.

Unexpectedly I am having some difficulty thinking of things they could send me. If anyone has suggestions, please feel free to comment.

So far my list consists of:

• popcorn
• hot chocolate
• macaroni and cheese
• Mexican spices
• Thai spices

That’s a pretty pitiful list…
