Recently my friend Joan got me a ticket to the Carolina/Duke game in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  Here’s a picture of me at the basketball game! in-dean-dome.jpg

While we were in Chapel Hill, Joan let me fly around in the new Carolina basketball museum.  What a cool place!  I had a chance to see videos from lots of Carolina basketball games.  I even got to see lots of stuff about one of my favorite college coaches of all time, Dean Smith.  Here’s a picture of me standing next to a pair of Michael Jordan’s basketball shoes!  charlie-and-jordan.jpg Boy, did he ever have big feet!  My feet are much better for perching on branches than for playing basketball.  Even though I can fly, I don’t think I’d make a very good basketbal player.  I’d have trouble holding on to the ball!

Yes, I do love those Tar Heels and ACC basketball!  tarheelcharlie.jpg Do any of you like basketball, too?  Please leave me a comment and let me know what teams you like.

Later…..
