So are you all ready for Black Friday??? I for one am not. Then again, I’ve never really been one to partake in that little tradition… I’m one of those who most years would rather just sit back, enjoy the day off from work, catch up on my sleep a little and then watch all of the news reports of the people shopping and spending lots of money that they probably don’t have!
As most you reading this probably know, I’ll be doing something a little different for this year’s Black Friday - I’m gonna take to the air! I’ll head to LAX mid-morning to fly out to DC… After a plane change in St. Louis, I should arrive at Reagan Airport a little before 10pm EST. Lord, Metro & weather willing, I should be in my hotel room at the Best Western in Georgetown a little before 10:30pm… On Saturday afternoon, I’ll be heading off to the JW Marriott hotel for the 2008 Miss DC USA pageant to support my friend Kate Michael as she competes. I’m sure hoping that Kate can complete that double of winning both the the Miss DC America and the Miss DC USA pageants. Two nights from now, about this time we should be close to knowing if she pulls it off. GO KATE!!!

Gilbert Arenas To Miss 3 Months! :( November 22, 2007
Posted by John C in Basketball, Gilbert Arenas, Wizards.add a comment
I knew something was wrong when I saw him play for all of six minutes 2 1/2 weeks ago on TV when the Washington Wizards took on the Orlando Magic at the Verizon Center. The explosiveness that I’ve grown accustomed to seeing along with the deadly outside shot of his were missing… It did appear that “Agent Zero” was starting to finally get it back together last week as he tallied 57 points in impressive Wizards wins against the Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves… However, Gilbert felt pain after the Timberwolves game and missed the last two games against the Portland Traliblazers and Philadelphia 76ers as a result. Today, Gilbert got the bad news - a torn meniscus and a microfracture on his surgically-repaired left knee. He will miss three months! For the complete story, go to Gilbert’s Blog.
Needless to say, this puts a HUGE damper on the Wizards and their high hopes for the 2007 season. After starting the year 0-5, the Wizards have won five straight games. Last year, the Wizards made a nice surge near the end of the season, only to see Gilbert and Caron Butler go down with injuries within games of each other. The Wizards literally limped into the playoffs and were swept in four games by the eventual 2006-07 NBA runner-up Cleveland Cavaliers. One can only hope that Butler and others can pick up the slack and keep the Wizards respectable while their star is down.
