Katherine and I took nine-year-old Luki to Dallas this afternoon to see the Harlem Globetrotters (in American Airlines Center, where the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars play). I've never seen the Globetrotters in person, though I've seen them on television many times and known about them since I was a kid. The Globetrotters are part basketball team, part high-wire act, part comedy troupe, part gymnastics team, and part dance squad. I laughed uproariously many times and found myself applauding the team's antics, some of which involved interaction with the audience or the team's mascot, Globie. The team had an off night as far as long-range shots are concerned, but the talent of the players shone through in other ways, such as acrobatic dunks, no-look passes, slick ball-handling, and the famous three-man weave. Oops! There was a woman on the team, so perhaps I should say "three-person weave." A good time was had by all.
