I'm sure I'll do a blog article later on this, but for now, here's what a friend and I did today to commemorate the 1st day of the "Sonics" move to Oklahoma City ... we met at the Deep Deuce Grill ...

And he brought a pair of his Sonics hats from a time gone by that he lived in Seattle ...

We talked, laughed, relaxed, and ate some brisket ... to go along with his glass of champagne and my whiskey sour on the rocks, and then we strolled the neighborhood, reflecting on things today and things gone by. It was a great great quiet celebration of many things, not the least of which was the 1st day of the "Sonics" in Oklahoma City!
Please share any of your own experiences ... I'm sure all would enjoy how you marked the day.
By the way, I think that metro's idea of a "welcome" party is a great idea. Let's do it!
