Fri.-Thurs., Dec. 25-31, 2020
Christmas is always a wonderful day for our family but, like everything else in 2020, we had to make Covid-19 related alterations to our traditions.
In their home, Jacob and Mary
attacked their tree like always
on Christmas morning
Our Christmas normal is to have all of our family including my Mom, sisters and their family come to our home on Christmas Day to exchange gifts for all of my Mom's great-grandchildren.
This is then followed by one of Laurie's amazing holiday dinners.
Laurie was ready to serve dinner
Our tree was ready for gifts
That's as far as we got, our Covid-19 plan called for only our normal bubble to convene on Christmas Day.
Thus we were joined by Vanessa,
Jacob and Mary
Mike was invited too, he took the photo.
It was much different but still good under the circumstances.
On Sunday, the Rams (9-5) took on
the Seahawks (10-4) in Seattle
We stunk up the place
Reading Is FUNdamental!
A really interesting read about
the 1970 Granada Hills H.S. (11-1)
Los Angeles City Championship season
Laurie's cousin Linda Neumeier sent me this book about her husband Gary's Uncle Jack who coached Granada Hills to the title using the futuristic Spread Offense that he invented especially for that season.
If you are at all an American football historian, then I highly recommend this book to you.
That 1970 season was also my first season coaching high school football at Thousand Oaks H.S. Revisiting the techniques that we all used back then through 2-20 hindsight, it is amazing that we weren't all arrested for child abuse.
Thanks for the great read Linda!
From Laurie and I to all of you . . .
