Jazz Game

Last week a few girls in the ward and I went to a Jazz game. We had dinner at the Olive Garden downtown which was just fabulous. Those sinful bread sticks will be the end of me.

We didn't want to pay for parking so we parked further away and rode the Trax in. This was my first time on the Trax and I think this was one of the best events of the evening - I was so excited. I've gone on trains in Chicago, New York, London, Paris, etc. but for some reason the Trax was ridiculously thrilling.

On the Trax

We got to the game and had a great time. The half-time show was this group of older women who tap dance and do hip-hop [hopefully without breaking a hip]. They spotlighted the oldest lady who was 93. She did her little solo and jumped and landed in the splits. The entire Delta Center was screaming cheers and shocked gasps. I really wish I had video taped it. It was incredible.

The game was great, we won. I believe the Jazz are on a 8-game winning streak. Stephanie was cheering for Portland since she is from Oregon and the drunkards behind us were giving her a hard time about it. All in all, a great time with some great girls!

Oh fun!! I used to ride Trax everyday to work up at the U. It was great!! Seriously, how can you beat reading a good book for a 1/2 hour rather than fighting traffic...
