Maria’s view of Log Cabin Living

With his sports picture collection proudly displayed on the vaulted ceiling in the loft, Hubby is so happy!  Now he can sit back in his chair at the computer and gaze at his favorite sports figures.  He loves all sports, and he has many favorite players (don’t ask me to name them….I go blank at the thought of most sports stuff).  Maybe you can see in the pictures who his favorites are.  There’s a lot of history in those pictures!

Hubby played college football at Montana State College (now MSU).    Let’s see if I can remember…oh yes, I remember now……he was an offensive guard.  And unfortunately, he’s got injuries that go along with it.

He has several cool trophies from when he played baseball as a kid in Brooklyn.  He went to a Catholic school, and they had a winning baseball team!  Who woulda’ thought?!  Catholic school?  Sports?  It just never occurred to me.

Me?  I was all thumbs and elbows, gangly and tall as a kid, so no trophies here…but I always secretly wished I’d somehow win one.

Since we got married, I’m trying to gain more sports knowledge, and I actually enjoy football and basketball now.  I especially like Steve Nash on the Phoenix Suns basketball team.  I had no idea a “short” guy (compared to his teammates) could play like that!!   Dammit baby, white men CAN jump!   I’m really looking forward to the playoffs, after getting familiar with Nash last year.  And now the Suns have Shaquille O’Neal (did I spell that right?), so look out Lakers!
