Father's Day Weekend


Friday-Sunday,
June 19-21, 2020

We enjoyed a good weekend, at home of course, in large part because of the grandkids.

It all started on Friday with our last Coaches Exchanging Zoom meeting of the Spring that started back on April 1st. At that time, we were a group of European and Mexican coaches whose seasons were in limbo and wanted to use our down time to improve ourselves.

After nearly 30 of these wondrous meetings, I think that it is safe to say that we all did learn a thing or two in these great meetings organized by Jesús Sanchez and Bart Iaccarino in Spain. 

Our final speaker was Alvaro Salazar . . .

. . . of Mexico's Tec de Monterey Borregos
talking on his RPO system

RPO stands for Run-Pass Option, the thing in American football today

He was organized and explained things . . .

. . . clearly and thoroughly

It was a good way to end our sessions together.

Speaking of American football and EuroBall . . .

The Huskies get a Verbal Commitment
from the Wonderful World of EuroBall!

On Friday it was announced that German native Maurice Heims, a Senior DE at California's Santa Margarita Catholic H.S., has verbally committed to play his college football at the University of Washington!

In 2019 he came to America from Germany to study and play for a year or two. That experience has led to a free college education, awesome.

He'll be a high school Senior in 2020 if we ever have a season.

On Saturday night, grandson Jacob had a sleepover with us.

A two day Monopoly game saw me as the
eventual two day winner!

Sunday was Father's Day in the USA

I had two presents to open, the box behind my head held a turntable to once again be able to play all sorts of vinyl 45s and LPs from our 1950s-80s collection.

As for the smaller present I'm opening here, it was . . . 

. . . a Rams Flag for the front yard!

Princess Mary joined us on Sunday

She started this video as a budding Paleontologist
but ended it as a Dancing Queen

I had a good day with Mike but missed Andy a lot

Our neighbor George has an overflow
vegetable garden and we are the thankful
recipients of his bounty

In news from the net . . .

Spain finally cancelled their 2020 season
after first postponing it back in March

Still so TRUE!
