Life in the Fast Lane

Can we slow down a bit? What is the hurry anyway? Years ago the speed limit was 50, then it went to 55, then 60 and well you know. Everyone is speeding! I drive to Winston Salem, North Carolina every week on Interstate 85 and I am pushing 70-75 and people are zipping by me so fast I feel like I am standing still! Where are we all trying to get to so fast? When we were kids, we'd always say "I can't wait until next year". Well, we don't have to wait anymore, next year gets here before the old year is gone! Remember Y2K with all of the panic and then September 11 2001 came and everything was a blur after that? Can we slow down a bit and have a little life while we are zipping by in the fast lane? This past Sunday, my husband and I brought ice cream and cones to share with our congregation after church just so everyone could stand around a while and just chat before zipping home to dinners of fried chicken, collard greens and potato salad. It was great! Everyone stayed and actually sat down while eating the ice cream. Imagine that! No one was in a big hurry to leave services as they usually do. Ice Cream Cones anyone?Oh... Hurry up and eat your ice cream before it melts!

NBA Draft 2005

This year's draft was the year of the Tarheel with 4 UNC players being drafted in the lottery. It was also the last year of High Schoolers being drafted into the NBA. Suprisingly, one of the first high schoolers taken was a 7 foot tall, 17 year old from NJ who was taken by the LA Lakers....well, at least Kobe should have someone to boss around this time.

The dreadful Atlanta Hawks may have gotten the best player in the draft by getting UNC SF/PF Marvin Williams. Only time will tell. I hope so, because as much as I love seeing mascots flying through the air, it would be nice to see the Hawks be the draw to Phillips Arena rather than the peripheral entertainment.
