Mon.-Fri., April 4-8, 2022
It was a calm week for me but a frantic one for at least one of our regular readers who was starting to experience withdrawal symptoms due to such a long drought since our last post.
Privacy issues keep me from divulging any names.
After excitedly announcing that he and his wife would soon be grandparents for the third time, I was lambasted for not posting anything since last Sunday.
So, here goes . . .
We spotted these cool motorcycles
in Ventura at the start of the week
Speaking of Monday events
In a great NCAA Men's basketball championship game, the Kansas Jayhawks beat the North Carolina Tarheels 72-69.
It was a fun March Madness run as usual.
Jacob is excited about this new
exhibit in nearby Simi Valley
We plan on visiting it next week during Jacob's Spring Break.
Last weekend our son Michael traveled to Bisbee, Arizona to play in a vintage baseball tournament using 1860s rules.
He signed a reported $2.5 million
NIL deal with the
Smacker Baseball Bats Company
I think that Michael should model
his beard after this Civil War officer
He was Union Colonel Percy Wyndham noted mostly for his amazing facial hair.

Lots of characters in Bisbee
It was reported that they all
had a good time

Tomorrow, I'm heading to
the home of the USC Trojans
to learn more about this wacky
game of American football
Yep, I still love this game!
