Wed.-Thurs., Dec. 16-24, 2020
As I start to write this blogpost it is Christmas Eve. Laurie and I have just finished our delicious dinner alone thanks to our current self-imposed and government sponsored Covid-19 restrictions.
Before I go any farther, may I wish all of you . . .
. . . the Merriest Christmas EVER!
Now, let's look at the last week's happenings.
The 9-4 Rams played the hapless
0-13 New York Jets on Sunday
DAMN IT!
That's why they play the game.
Being a Los Angeles Rams fan is definitely NOT for the faint of heart!
On Monday night Las Vegas Raiders
Head Coach Jon Gruden was a
bit confused in his choice of hats
It's O.K. Coach, I still call Los Angeles' other team the San Diego Chargers from time to time.
Now, THAT'S a burger
If only I knew where to get one of these colorful delights.
On Saturday, Mike joined us to
watch the PAC-12 Championship Game
The 3-1 Washington Huskies were supposed to play in this game as the PAC-12 North's best team against the PAC-12 South's top club, the 5-0 USC.
A Covid-19 outbreak in the Huskies' program forced them out of the game only to be replaced by the PAC-12 North's #2 team, the 3-2 Oregon Ducks.
So Oregon won the
PAC-12 Championship
Just another goofy 2020 happening.
Because of the spike in Covid-19 throughout the country only two PAC-12 teams, Oregon and Colorado, opted to play in a bowl game this post-season.
The PAC-12 Champion, 25th ranked Oregon Ducks (4-2) will take on the 10th ranked Iowa State Cyclones (8-3) of the Big-XII Conference in the Fiesta Bowl played in Glendale, Arizona.
In San Antonio, Texas the Alamo Bowl this year will see the PAC-12's unranked Colorado Buffaloes (4-1) go up against Big-XII Conference traditional power and 20th ranked Texas Longhorns (6-3).
Good luck to both the Ducks and the Buffaloes who carry the standard for the entire PAC-12 Conference alone this year.
Meanwhile, in internet news from Italy . . .
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
A Cannoli Christmas Tree
It looks DELIGHTFUL!
It's Italian and loosely translates as
2020
An INTERESTING Year
Yet another spot on commentary
on my current status
The College Football Playoffs
Final Four was announced
Same old, same old . . .
This certainly is one of our
current national issues I believe
Christmas Eve Day's Only Bowl Game
To be clear, the 3-4 Houston Cougars were playing the 4-4 Hawaii Rainbows in something called the New Mexico Bowl played in Frisco, Texas.
And I was watching it . . .
Hawaii won 28-14
After the whole Covid-19 thing is behind us, I HAVE to get a better life.
This sounds wonderful to me
Reading Is FUNdamental!
A bit corny but I do love all of
the accurate references to life in
Sicily's East Coast
Most of this book series is set within a 20 minute drive from our penthouse apartment in Aci Castello just north of Sicily's second largest city, Catania.
Again, I say to all of you. . .
