Alberto spent a week in Seattle
Thanks to our friends Mark and Susie Johnson, Alberto was whisked away to the Pacific Northwest to enjoy both a Seattle Seahawks practice and a University of Washington practice.
He also had a chance to spend time on the Johnson's Camano Island "cabin" and take a stab at eating a 12 egg omelet at Beth's Dinner.
He failed.
Miserably.

JV GAME TIME!!!
It was 104 degrees Fahrenheit

Here come the Panthers!
Political Correctness
Birmingham's original nickname was the Braves. At some point in the 1990s, the Los Angeles Unified School District decreed that schools could no longer have Native American mascots.
Therefore no more University Warriors, Gardena Mohicans or Birmingham Braves.
Thus we were playing the Birmingham Patriots. I did like the banners around the stadium that did not completely abandon the past.
Our Spanish Ball Boy

Did I mention that it was hot?
