2 Down...

...1 to go. Benicio was the first baby born on the block (not counting the families north of 1808 and south of 1734). And then came Hezekaiah. Now all we need is a Baby Boy/Girl Moreno to complete the Trifecta.

Although it always seemed like a great idea if we all had kids at the same time, I never thought it would actually happen. I moved to the neighborhood in 1986 - nineteen years ago - and although I don't live there anymore, I still visit the family weekly. There are plenty of memories on that block and I'm sure Benicio will have some great one's visiting his Grandparents and Aunty. I just hope he doesn't wake up "The-Guy-Who-Sleeps-In-Car". I personally remember him more as "Guy-Who's-Going-Off-To-War" but apparently he doesn't suit up anymore.



NBA Playoff Predictions:

Suns over Memphis in 5...Memphis stumbled into the playoffs and they are going to stumble out of them. The only worry is if Mike Miller stays as hot as he's been, although that could only push it to a sixth game. Phoenix is just too good this year. Nash-ty should get the MVP this year and if he doesn't, I won't be that sad...Shaq deserves it just as much.

Denver over San Antonio in 7...Upset of the playoffs. The Spurs haven't had a chance to play with Timmy in any important games down the stretch. Meaning: they've been on cruise control. Denver however, has been hot and will continue their hotness through the next round.

Seattle over Sacto in 6...Too many injuries will lead to an early exit for Cowtown's Finest.

Dallas over Houston in 7...Dirk Diggler will continue his MVP play by barely getting by a team that matches up well with the Mavs. Yao will again be booted out in the first round against a team that plays a lot of zone and will not allow him to post up.

...East predictions to follow.
