Fashion Day with the Haifa Heat

Today started off as any other Tuesday would... 11am shooting practice, and then straight home to go back to bed.  What made it different from the other Tuesdays was the fact myself and six of my teammates had to go to a local mall to get fitted for a fashion show that we will be participating in a few weeks from now.  None of us had any idea what was going on, so we just went with the flow and showed up.  When we got there, we got fitted for our outfits we will be wearing at the show (and keeping after its over!).  After the fitting, we got introduced to the twenty girls who will be doing the show with us... unfortunately, all these girls are between the ages of 15-18, and I just can't talk myself into talking to an eighteen year old girl, even though it is supposedly 'legal'.  It was actually pretty fun, and all us guys had to practice our runway walks, and our poses at the end of the runway... as you can imagine, we were all very awkward at it.  It's pretty entertaining watching a group of guys who look so fluid and coordinated on a basketball court look so goofy walking in a straight line.  Anyhow, we have a meeting set up to try on our clothes next week so we will surely be ready to walk the runway on the 24th of November, the actually date of the show.  

Back to basketball, we are getting ready for a HUGE stretch in our schedule... we have 3 games in 8 days starting Saturday (two league games, and one cup game).  We play Galil-Galboa on Saturday at their place, and if we can win this one, we will be sitting veryyyy pretty.  Pretty excited for this weekend, it will be another good test for our team to see how strong we really are.

Lastly, a kid who is like a little brother to me, Brandon 'Beezer' Burnam went into the ICU real early this morning.  He is having some really bad problems with his asthma, which has really been a problem for him in his past.  I'm pretty positive he will be all good, but if you could keep him in your thoughts right now it would be much appreciated.  Thanks a lot, and have a great Wednesday!
