Jeff, Des, and I have been best friends since 7th grade. We all have families and jobs, so we don&#8217;t get together as much as in the past. To say that Des was missed is an understatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have to thank his wife Lex for setting everything up and bringing us all together again! She flew us down, put us up at the crib, and even made sure that we had the best seats in the house during the Orlando Magic game. Which I must add was hysterical because after I stopped playing basketball I kinda lost all interest in the game. However, during this sabbatical, I have watched more basketball than I have in years. And court-side seats are making me start to rethink my position. Ice hit the jackpot when he married her!
