During the cold winter months, many people choose to spend a lot of their time indoors. For me, the winter months means the chance to go to an NBA basketball game and cheer on my favorite team. My favorite NBA team is the Chicago Bulls, who play at the United Center.

This year, the Bulls finally appear to be set to make a deep run into the playoffs. The Bulls are led by Derrick Rose, who is a point guard and in his third year in the NBA and Carlos Boozer, who was signed as a free agent during the offseason. So far this year the Bulls are in first place in their division and are growing their lead. With the Indiana Pacers hot on their tail, it is more important than ever for fans to head to the United Center to watch the game and cheer on the Bulls.

While going to NBA games can be extremely fun and a great way to spend a day in the winter, going to the games can take a few hours. Since being away from my home for that long can lead to vandalism or theft, I am sure that I set my home security alarm system from TotalAlarmsystems prior to going to the game.

It's time for tennis season again, and I couldn't be more excited. I've been following the professionals all year long, and watching so many exciting matches that I was more ready than ever before to get back on the court. Though I normally play on indoor courts during the winter, they're never quite as enjoyable as the fresh outdoor courts at the park near my home.

Last weekend, it was almost warm enough to play, so I decided to head out and brave the chilly air. I packed my tennis bag with my racket, balls, and water, set my Besthomesecurity home security alarm, and drove to the park. I found that several other people must have been waiting just like I had, because the backboards were all full. I decided to take a walk around the park first to stretch out, and when I returned, there was finally a backboard open.

I was happy to find out that my practice during the winter had paid off, as I wasn't nearly as rusty as I sometimes am during the first spring session. I spent nearly two hours on the backboards, and had a really good workout doing so. When I returned home, I decided to leave my equipment in the car, because I knew I would be heading back to the park as soon as possible again.
