17 hours before the big game and I'm blogging

I want to make tonight's WNBA Charlotte Sting at San Antonio Silver Stars game, but it appears that the ol' wolf (Worldwide Organization against Living Free) is standing in the way (also called my supervisor at the ol’ “j”) (where I am writing this). (I missed Martina Hingis here in Houston last July 16th. Stevie Nicks was in town the same hour the same day. I refused to be emotionally torn. This would have been adequately compensatory.)

Charlotte has Allison Feaster (this is a first post, so I’ll not start with ultimate complexities.) San Antonio this year has Vickie Johnson (of New York Liberty fame), and has reacquired Biba (Agnieszka Bibrzycka.) San Antonio still has my favorite photo op Marie Ferdinand.

San Antonio has Dan Hughes, who this year seems bent on a quantum modification of the women's basketball game. It's going to be fun, yes, but more instructive to see how he introduces Shanna Zolman (Tennessee '06) and recovered KENDRA WECKER along with returning KATIE FEENSTRA to the mix. Didn't see the game, didn't read the highlights, but did see that SHANNON JOHNSON finally performed to minimally acceptable standards (3 rebounds, 7 assists and 14 points) in the May 9 preseason scrimmage against, again, Charlotte with Zolman, Wecker and Feenstra also in the starting lineup. Maybe people are being convinced that Dan can and will give the really supportive and enthusiastic San Antonio crowd a rewarding season without begging.

Hello.

(On the sad news side, the Washington Mystics waived Rita Williams Wednesday.)
