Finally.

“At last

My love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song”

Based upon the above, you would think today’s “Snap.Shot.” is all about finding that perfect mate---the one who has swept in and removed any doubt that life was to be a mundane passing of time. Sorry, today’s “Snap.Shot.” is about basketball.

Hey, it’s been a long while since I have written about sports---it’s only one day, I will get back to other topics tomorrow.

Since 1998, the Chicago Bulls have played basketball; they have played every year (except this one they are playing less games) and usually in early April, they head home to wherever they spend time in the off-season. But that’s changed in the past few years. Instead of heading home after 82 games---they have stuck around and played a few extra ones. Last year they played more times than they had in the previous 13 years.

This year they will hopefully play a few more than 82 once more---with the shortened season if they play around 90 games they will once again be at the top, the champs, the beloved Chicago Bulls that fell from their perch when Michael, Scottie, Dennis and others left us wondering---what happened?

But now the lonely days are gone. The bandwagon is filling up once more---and people are hopping on to it with every victory. As far as I am concerned---welcome back, you missed some great games. Now we need to make sure we support the team, wear their colors, and know the players. They have changed a lot since 1998 by the way.

If you follow sports you might be familiar with Jeremy Lin of the Knicks and the onslaught of “Linsanity.” He is a very good player---and he is smart---but what the Bulls bring to the court is far superior; they bring teamwork, camaraderie, and a belief that they are a team destined for greatness. Amen.

The photo above is of Derrick Rose driving to the basket at a recent game in Milwaukee. Why Milwaukee and not the United Center in Chicago? When the Bulls are hot, and the bandwagon is filling up, so are the seats; those seats are getting more and more expensive with every victory. Where I sat in Milwaukee would have been more than 7 times what I would have paid in Chicago. So yes my love is back---but so is my “cents” of paying for what I love. Bring on the games.

Thanks for stopping by.
