After 24 exciting and warm hours in Miami, I’m currently in Oklahoma City to assist on two Thunder games. OKC definitely appears to be a simple, midwestern town at heart and doesn’t seem to stray far from perception upon a slightly closer look. The mid-week timing of the trip combined with the apparently apocalyptic ice storm has shut down the city. The nature of hotel life also makes it easy to never venture outside. While circumstances such as these usually drive me crazy, I’ve embraced the simplicity of the week and sheltered myself a little from the normal chaos that surrounds so many of us.
