Derrick McKey

Sitting at work (again). A super tall guy comes in. I wonder if he plays basketball. He asks a couple questions - like where are the kids sweaters? - where are the big sweatshirts?. So they check out and buy a modest amount of merchandise. He payed with a credit card - so as soon as he left we (me and Katelin) look at the receipt for his name. Doesn't sound familiar. Google! First hit is from NBA.com. We squeel! That's him. He went to Alabama in 88! Oh my goodness. There he goes....(as he drives away in his very nice car). Wow, that's worth blogging about.
