The Peterson Principle 12/28/10

I’m not sure why anybody would have paid 41,000 dollars for a courtside seat to the Lakers-Heat game on Christmas Day. Honestly that’s what was reported that they were going for.

Thursday and Friday aren’t enough. Last week I was out on Saturday night too. When I saw that Diamond Ranch, the CIF Southeast Division runner up for the last two years, was at home I had to be there.
