I'm telling you guys.. these Blazers are great guys. You might remember me going on and on about LaMarcus a while back and now I could go on and on about another player-- James Jones. He was at the Schoolhouse Supplies Celebrity Spelling Bee last night and I (again) was very impressed. He took AP history and someone told me he was an academic all-star. Funny, smart guy who was very nice. Way to go Blazers. I don't know a jump shot from a blocked shot (I even had to ask for help for those basketball terms) but I do know I'm very excited to see my next Blazers game. Anyone want to teach me about basketball??

Here's a picture of me with our emcee for the evening.. John Erickson from K103!!

And no.. I didn't win. I really thought I'd go out first, which isn't a bad thing. More fun to heckle, really.

Have a wonderful weekend!! sstricklen@kgw.com
