1/12: We take an early lead and get it to 11. Up 9 after 10. Up 8 at the half. Early 2nd half run puts us up by 19. Up 23 with 10 left. We really heated up in the 2nd half.
84-65. We expected a tougher game. We OWNED the paint. 17, 11 for both Mack and Star, 19, 6 for Wall. +10 RBs, -5 TOs.
We took 11 more shots and made 11 more. +26 in the paint, +10 on 2nd chances.
We're 13-2, 5-1, in a 3 way tie for the Horizon lead. One team is a game back and 1 is 2 games back.
One more road game before this crazy schedule brings us home for 3. We're at 8-8, 2-4 Green Bay. We're definitely the better team. They live and die by the three and when they make them they can be tough to beat.
My mentee, frosh Gaut Wall, is having a terrific season. He's our 3rd leading scorer, 3rd in RBs, 3rd in assists, 1st in steals. He doesn't turn it over much. He's as good a defender as we have with the exception of Marc Brad. He's a big factor in our success. And he still clearly sees me as a father figure. I have to say I really like the kid.
Lacy and I have always enjoyed rigorous hikes in the holo. Now that she's pregnant we're still taking hikes but far less rigorous ones. Sometimes I go out on my own and challenge myself though.
We're heading for deep space. We cross the line beyond which our Sun has no influence tomorrow. The first destination is Proxima Centauri. Proxima b orbits the star and is in the "Goldilocks zone." We're hoping to make some exciting discoveries.
In reality, whatever that is, it would take tens of thousands of years for us to get there. Since we have lots of options regarding manipulating that sort of thing we're going to take a little less than a year. We'll reach the solar system in December, and orbit Proxima b in early January.
