January 9 - 15, 2006

We got Dish Network satellite TV including Greek programming (so dad can watch his hometown soccer team Larissa). We also have HBO, showtime and cinemax free for three months. Take that Comcast!

Kostas got a third place award in the school district 3rd grade MLK computer writing contest! His prize will be two free tickets to a play at a theater in Ann Arbor in March!

Mom and dad went to a Detroit Pistons basketball game on Saturday. We got tickets to a suite given to mom and a few others working at ProQuest. The game was an easy win against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Before the game starts:


Pistons going to work, 29 wins and only 5 losses this year!

We were on the fifth floor suites:

After halftime we went to some seats near the court and the view from there is amazing, you "feel" the game while up in the suite you socialize, drink and eat.
