A Sunny Spring Wednesday


Last night we had a very good, very intense Senior team practice in preparation for our tough road game this coming Easter Sunday against the 5-1 St-Cergues Bulldogs.

We were short one offensive tackle as we started our 25 minute defensive oriented scrimmage. Usually our import QB, John van den Raadt, has one of our two French QBs impersonating our opponent's QB while he calls the other team's plays from our scout cards.

John did that last night but also voluntarily lined up at right tackle! I do believe that his people had signed some sort of a nonaggression pact with our DE's representatives sometime during warm ups.

Great team player.

Today's roaming through the greater Lyon megalopolis took me to . . .

Probably very good for everyone, it could have gotten quite ugly if I had gotten into one of my feeding frenzies!!!
