"Better Than an iPhone"

This is what Anthony said about his Christmas present, and made me feel really good. It is hard to compete with an iPhone, after all, but I hoped it would be fun to go to a game and show the kids where Daddy went to college. We had really good seats on the floor level and watched Carolina beat up on Elon. Honestly, I was worried that this might be one of those experiences that sounds fun, but turns out to be not-so-great - like carving a pumpkin. I was so happy to be so wrong! The kids had a GREAT time and were really well behaved (read: very little whining). Joshua loved every minute - the cheering, the dunks, the free throws - everything. It was so fun to see him almost giddy.

Anna has declared herself to be forever a Tar Heel, with Clemson and Appalachian State being further down on the list. She also says Tyler Zeller is her favorite player. For those who know anything about the UNC campus, here we are at the famous Old Well. There were TONS of people walking around campus prior to the game. That is to be expected, of course, but it was really funny how obvious it was that they were all alumni with their kids. We fit right in with the over 30 + 2 kids crowd + decked out in Carolina blue all walking around Franklin St.

Hill Hall is where Anthony spent most of his angst driven days with all his angst-y and creative music friends. Thankfully, they've all grown up and found it is okay to be happy and produce good music at the same time.
