Globe Trottin'

This morning I was chuckling at Adam Carolla's suggestion that we should send the Harlem Globetrotters to the Olympics to just "freak out" the European teams with their silly balls and referee shenanigans. It made me wonder if I should take Liam to a HG game? Would he like it? Then it made me reflect on how sad it is that HG is actually a legitimate pull in town now that we don't have an NBA team anymore. Then I thought about how my dad used to take me to HG games when I lived in Tallahassee (or course, a town sans NBA) and how they were still playing the ficticious "Washington Generals" wearing the same green and yellow uniforms; a passle of befuddled white guys. I remember getting one of the Generals to sign a pennant for me. I thought it was so cool. Now I look back and wonder, "C'mon dad! Why didn't you get in there and get me Medowlark Lemon's autograph?"
