I've made it through the first weekend of my break. We didn't make the Playoffs so our season ended Thursday after our exit meetings. I have been traveling since my exit meeting and I've got a couple more places to go. This summer i have big plans to do a lot of rehab with my knee so i can be ready for next year. This is the start of my season with all i have planned but I'm looking forward to it. I also will be going back to The Ohio State University to take some summer classes.

	Thats great that you are going back to OSU to do some classes, I respect that a TON! Have a good summer, and get back to 100%, because I want to see you work Shaq.

	Out of curiosity, Greg - are you chipping away at a degree or are there just some things you are interested to learn on a college level? Thanks for posting.

	GO...Not sure you know it, but you're livin' the song! "I will buy you that big house way up in the west hills" -- Everclear BTW, there's a hill out there that makes Benchview look like a bunny slope. Check out Brynwood from Miller to Skyline. 18% gradient.

	Hey Greg--Rofman here, a fairly new member of the Yardbarker team. Had to write and say that Jay and Silent Bob is also one of my favorite flicks of all-time. Kevin Smith is way underrated. Biggity Bam!

	Hey Greg - are you going to take a vacation this summer? You know running on the beach is a very good workout. :-)

	Good stuff GO, what classes do you think you'll be taking?

	Smart man... Hit the books, then hit the gym! I took the scenic route through college and I will be graduating after my 30th birthday. No shame in that, 'cuz at least I'm getting it done. Will you also take online classes during basketball season? I know Shaq finished his degree online, may be a good option for you, too? Keep it real, G.O. Looking forward to seeing you in October!

	Way to keep up with your education. I mean, you're so marketable, you won't need school, but it's still a good idea...

	Greg...let's get to the pressing matters...what hair styles are you considering for next season?

	Are you going to working out at all in portland? I hear that you are looking forward to the weather here in portland?

	How do you all know where he is going to live? Anyway, if I had the money I would want to live in the pearl district. It's the nicest area, right down town, the heart of Portland, you can get to the Rose garden in 5-10 minutes too, you could probably walk across the bridge to the arena if your car broke down, not that it would.

	Article was in the Oregonian. Downsizing to a place in the Pearl is the hardest thing to do after living in a big house. Even the penthouses here are smaller than most houses in the 'burbs. Ah...but the women here.....it makes it all worth it. Now that GO is safely out of the neighborhood, we won't have to hide all of them.

	Hope you have fun in summer school and all goes well with your knee too. Next year's line-up, Oden, Aldridge, Webster, Roy and Blake and Outlaw the 6th man. You guys are gonna be fun to watch.

	Hey Greg, I know Penn Station is your favorite place to eat (i saw an autographed piece of paper saying so) Any sandwich places out West that taste as good as Penn Station here in Columbus?
