Mon. - Sat., July 26 - Aug. 14, 2021
Apologies to the faithful few followers of this blog for my lack of recent postings. Simply put, I've been disconnected from much of the net these past two weeks to cleanse my mind.
Anyway, here is what has been going on in my world . . .
DEEEElicious!
I found this Sicilian soft drink on sale at the new Freda's Pizzeria in Camarillo.
The pizza was darn good too!
We watched a ton of the
Tokyo Olympics
Son Michael sporting an official shirt worn by friend Mark Johnson when he acted as a U.S. Wrestling Federation liaison during the . . .
. . . 1984 Los Angeles Olympics
Speaking of Michael, he was back out in the arena again.
Who is playing?
Mike's again part of a team playing in
this 1886 rules base ball league
It would not be referred to as baseball until years later.
So who was playing?

| This strong new club from Temecula was traveling to play . . . |
. . . Our beloved Wharf Rats
Back in the day, the Dear Brothers owned a dairy in Temecula that sponsored a local base ball team.
"The Sir" or umpire rules on the
seven inning game by himself
Wharf Rats pre-game hub-bub
The Sir laying down the law to
both teams before the first pitch
Max, the Wharf Rats new
pitching ace
Batter Up!
Max with some "chin music"
Mike on deck
Mike at bat getting a single
That hit led to the Wharf Rats . . .
. . . first and only run of the game
Mike running the bases
Overall, Max is a serious upgrade to the Wharf Rats roster.
He once was a punt returner for Syracuse University.
trailing only 4-1 after four innings
before losing 19-1
As usual, the fans had a lot of fun despite the score.
We were a bit disappointed when Mike pulled a hamstring playing centerfield in the third inning bringing his day to an end.
Traditional breakfast in
Victorville on our way to Las Vegas
Why Las Vegas again, you ask?
for some refreshments
Alien Biden next to really
Alien Trump
If it's your Tenth Birthday,
a good sized cake is a must!
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
showed up to seranade Kevin
get on his nose?
Being with Jenn, Andy and Jenn for three days was great but Vegas was SCORCHING!
to donate to our EuroBall cause
My alma mater came through!

her budding American football career

She'll have to settle for the round ball a bit longer.
day of the Fourth Grade
We are all keeping a watchful eye on the Coronavirus and this back to school situation for all three of our grandkids.
pads for the Rio Mesa H.S. Freshmen
hard at work too
Rio Mesa Offensive Linemen

SeaBees Museum in Oxnard
shoot down several airplanes
that were attacking the museum
on a fun sleepover
For the first time ever, Jacob flipped
me the first pancake at breakfast
the next morning!
Nice toss!
have been too much for Kevin . . .
Mike and I to attend a scrimmage
We joined Joanne and Paul Sabolic for a great meal first at Maria's Italian Kitchen and then their son Jason's scrimmage at Oak Park H.S.
Jason is the Head Coach of the El Camino Real H.S. Royals.
The Royals still have a lot of work ahead of them but they looked much more competitive than they did in their recently completed Spring season.
A sign that The Apocalypse
is upon us?
Finally . . .
Don't ask me why, but suddenly I
have a real desire to learn the art
of glass blowing
If you have any leads on where I can find a class to introduce me to this ancient artistry, let me know.
