California is a big state but even in a small distance there are many sports teams that compete against each other.
Examples: Clippers, Lakers - Ducks, Kings - Angels, Dodgers. It kind of feels like the SEC Football in Atlanta.
Wednesday night I went to my first Mighty Ducks game at the Honda Center in Anaheim. I am not having a good track record. My first Lakers game was a loss. The Ducks also lost to the Sharks on this evening. But the event was great none-the-less. I took a customer to this event and also got to spend time with some work counterparts from other divisions. We have a suite that we share with other companies, so we only get the suite every 4th event. The suite experience was very nice. The ice was great. The game was good. I'll be back.
Here are the pics:
Ice WAS NICE...

Honda Center........................
Thursday was the Lakers! I know, I know, I've been 3 times now. But, this was different!
We had a premier suite, we brought in customers, we had a deluxe dinner at the Staples Center before the game, and we had RON HARPER hanging out with us, signing jerseys, taking pictures and answering questions all night long.
Ron has won 5 NBA Championship Rings with the Lakers and the Bulls. He is a Cinci boy: J-Crew U for yous in the know.
He was so cool! The nicest person ever! I did get a nice kiss from Ron....on the cheek! But the best part was when we were just talking and he said that his life after the NBA is all about his kids. He told me that he is so happy that he didn't burn his money. He earned it and he saved it. Now, he can just be a dad. He said his greatest accomplishment and joy now is getting his kids up and ready for school. He drops them off every day. He told me, this is what it is all about, enjoying life and being able to do it!
What an awesome experience!!
