Some days you just want to sit and read . . .
. . . with this view and . . .
. . . this nourishment at hand
it just seemed like the thing to do
Of course I had to check the internet to get the news of the day from Varese.
Our U16 team (6-1) won an
overtime Wild Card playoff game
thriller against the Roma Gladiatori!
There are 12 clubs fielding U16 teams in Italy this season. They are broken down into three, four team Groups.
Our Varese Skorpions are in Group C with the Bergamo Lions, Ferrara Aquile and Bolzano Giants. The Skorpions and Lions were both 5-1 in regular seasomplay while the bottom feeding Aquile and Giants both finished with 1-5 marks in 2018.
The Skorpions earned Group C's #1 seed based on outscoring the Lions by 21 points in the two head-to-head games that they split.
The Roma Gladiatori earned their way into the playoffs by finishing the regular season at 3-3, good for second place in Group A play.
Our U19 Skorpions had a tough go of it this season in our five team Group B going 0-6. There are 17 U19 clubs =competing in Italy.
The Skorpions did not field a U13 club this season. Only seven Italian teams did in 2018.
Up next for the hard charging Skorpions
is a date in Torino this coming Saturday
for a Semi-Final Playoff game against
the #2 seeded Giaguari (5-1)
Go Skorpions GO!
After a day of solitude and making a Costco run while the ladies basked in the sunshine poolside, it was time for dinner.
Reportedly the best Happy Hour
dining in the Kihei megalopolis
After our dining experience, I can't argue the point.
The shrimp scampi was the highlight of our noshing.
The Johnson Clan at Manoli's
If you go ever to Manoli's, be surer to leave room for their signature Holy Manoli dessert!
The six of us shared it and still could not finish the deliciously rich GIGANTIC chocolate chip cookie with two huge scopes of vanilla ice cream and Oreo cookie crumbles sprinkled on top just for the fun of it.
While we were dining, the 11-2 Rams
were hosting the 6-7 Eagles
For the second week in a row, it did not go well for our Rams.
FINAL SCORE:
Philadelphia Eagles (7-7) 30
Los Angeles Rams (11-3) 23
We may need a QB change soon
as Jared Goff has now thrown
SIX interceptions in the last two games,
both losses to Da Bears and Eagles
Reading Is FUNdamental!
Peter May never disappoints
