Last time we won a playoff game was May 17th, 2012 against the thunder in game 3 of the semifinals, 99-96 at home. Eight years and four months ago. What has changed for you since then?

I was in my senior year of high school then. I’m now in the dissertation stage of a PhD program.

This is my first year ever to watch the Lakers in the playoffs, so I'm very happy about it, been following the Lakers since Jordan Clarkson was a rookie

Just drink whole milk in moderation. Might as well just enjoy it.

I care a lot less about a tournament win now than I did a playoff win then. I saw a good bit of the first half but none of the second half, family game time took precedence.

Wow, that was a long time ago and so much has happened in my life.

I got my masters degree, a new job, got married, had a kid, and am about to have a second kid some time between today and the end of next week.

I've traveled to 8 different countries. I only have 4 more to cross off my bucket list. Also, I stopped dating in America. Headed to Brazil next. It's not on my bucket list, but it's about the only country allowing Americans to enter thanks to the fella in the White House.

Had Child #1, she’s 7.
Had Child #2, she’s 4.
Got a big promotion at work.

Went from running full court and trips to Vegas & Big Bear, to watching Disney shows, skateboards, and Pokémon Go.

More Balboa Park, More San Diego Zoo, More Knotts.

Went from seeing my friends all the time, to hardly ever talking because we’re so busy with family and kids. That was a rough adjustment.

Started a new family at LG!

Great Question OP.

I've visited:

Dominican Republic
Costa Rica
China
Colombia
Thailand
Cambodia
Vietnam
Philippines

Left is:

Ethiopia
Egypt
South Africa
Cuba


I was going to knock out at least 2 of the next 4, but that's not going to happen as long as we're #1 in cases. Even of the countries that are allowing tourists, most have us banned. Brazil seems to not really care and is accepting anybody as long as you purchase medical insurance in case you get sick and need to go to their hospital, so looks like that's where I'm off to next.

Why not just wait until the pandemic ends to travel? And how did you pick these specific countries?
