I picked up a very good indicator for tonight’s Countrywide Championship Game this early morning.

Apple has a photo widget for the Iphone that shows images or a video clip sequence of images, with accompanying songs in a random vogue.

I am finding that that the widget, which shows the images or video clip on your property display screen, runs in additional than a random vogue. Apple appears to be to know what the working day represents, what I am heading to be undertaking, and even how I am experience – appropriate at the instant.

This early morning I awoke to Jill’s image with Gonzaga Basketball players, Eric McClellan and Przemek Karnowski, at Conner’s and Eamon’s graduation from Gonzaga, five years ago. 4 of our five little ones graduated from Gonzaga, Molly and Ainsley becoming the other others. Colin went to Montana.

Gonzaga graduation, held in the Spokane Arena, was 1 prolonged occasion. You’d get breaks to go to down to the concession stand.

Heading down five years ago I saw Karnowski going for walks in advance and yelled, “Shemmy” and told him he just experienced to hold out there till I ran back up to the seats to get 1 of his greatest supporters, my wife, Jill.

Przemek’s name was tricky to spell for supporters so they gave him different nicknames, like “Shem.”

Some how Jill and I started off contacting him “Shemmy” when viewing the Zags on tv every Thursday and Saturday evening all through the year. We never skipped.

I am confident Jill thought I was nuts when I went up and grabbed her and mentioned she desired to get downstairs appropriate absent as Shemmy was waiting around to get a image with her.

He was, and experienced even requested Eric to stick all around for the image.

4 years ago this early morning, and 1 yr after the image, Jill and I flew down to Phoenix to see “Shemmy” and Gonzaga perform in the Countrywide Championship Game in opposition to North Carolina. We arrived up a basket or two short.

I am taking this image of Jill displaying up this early morning as a very good indicator that Gonzaga will be the first staff in just about fifty years to run the table, heading undefeated to a Countrywide Championship.

And wow, Molly just told me that Jill’s only tweet on Twitter was to “Shemmy” – and he appreciated it.
