Tonight we got to go to a Jazz game and we were pretty close to the floor so it made it really fun. We went with my brother Peter and my cousin Isaac who are both hilarious. I'm not a very athletic person, but I enjoy watching sports and especially more in person. Basketball's fun too cause it's so fast paced and the game could change at any second (someone steals the ball in the last five seconds and shoots a 3-pointer... you just never know!)
During the second half they gave us those blow up stick things that you wave behind the basket to distract the other team. Unfortunately they distracted me too and for the rest of the game I was a goner. Luckily I wasn't alone.
Adam's blow things kept deflating so for the rest of the game his mission was to trade with anyone else without them noticing. It became pretty comical.
Peter got a little bored so he took my camera and enjoyed taking REALLY close up pictures of Ike's face (meanwhile Adam's trying to decapitate me in the background and I'm surprisingly happy about it)
Then it got really interesting as I started noticing the crowd. I found LaVell Edwards sitting across from us (see the usher on the stairs? he's right off her left elbow in the tan shirt). For the rest of the game I just wanted to see LaVell smile so anything that happened I'd immediately turn and check his reaction. Unfortunately it was only his classic arms folded across the chest gruff expression. Someday I'll see LaVell smile...
Speaking of something that made me smile though, look two people to the right of Jerry Sloan. Do you see what I see? Yep, Orrin Hatch decked out in his Christmas sweater and jeans and white tennis shoes and black socks. What a treat! 
Adam and I were noticing how much advertising space they're making up in the Delta Center (yep, we refuse to acknowledge it's new name of toxic waste dump). They not only have advertising on the backs of the players chairs but also underneath their chairs and behind the score table and on every inch of space between the upper and lower bowls. But our favorite was the tiny ad inside the cup holders. Yeah, now that I saw this here I'm TOTALLY gonna start buying all my pizza from Papa Johns. Sold!
All in all it was a really fun game and nice to be downtown (we even took trax!) and hang with Peter and Isaac. Very fun!
