Mavs win in Grand Fashion

   The Dallas Mavericks took on the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night. Started the game out a little slow and trailed late in the 4th quarter. With some stellar shooting by Dirk Nowitzki and a lot of cheering by the Mavs Dancers the team tied it up to take it to overtime. 

  A shot in the last 3 seconds by Dirk finds the hoop and clinches the win for the red hot NBA basketball team. 

  I know it isn't playoff time yet but still really exciting when they pull it out in the last second even if it did take an extra period.

Drilling for Oil

    The Dallas Stars played host to the hated Edmonton Oilers on Saturday afternoon. A scrapper of a game which the Stars took an early lead in but they weren't able to hang on. Edmonton tied it up in the third and eventually won in a shoot out. 

  The team definitely had their chances but just could not come up with the win.

New Snowfall

Chill a drop of water a little too much and it turns into a beautiful crystal, fluttering down from the clouds like little parachutes of fun or horror depending on what is attached to your feet. A pair of skis or a snowboard and you are in for an outrageously good time. Trying to drive on a road or walk on a covered sidewalk and it gets a little dangerous indeed.

The first snow of the season is always a little bit of a surprise. Leaves are still green and hanging on plants, the ones that change color are still hanging on spindly twigs with light dustings of white on top. It brings out the excitement of the season for everyone and creates a finality to the fall just past.
