A Somewhat Subdued Week

 

Sun.-Thurs., October 23-27 2022

It was an overall quiet week which neither of us complained about.

We opted to drive up to The Collection at River Park shopping center in Oxnard for lunch at one of our favorite Italian pizzerias.

Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana

We were happy with our respective pizza choices but still had a need for a dolce.

UBE Brownie Ice Cream!

It was being served at a new ice cream shop also in The Collection.

Ube, meaning tuber in Tagalog, is a sweet purple yam like vegetable from the Philippines that we fell in love with over the last few years on our frequent visits to Maui.

Again, we were two happy campers after sharing a scoop.

Jacob was back at it at Stingers
practice preparing for Saturday's
Semi-Final playoff game against the
Santa Barbara Saints

The first of two memories of
the Los Angeles Rams that I
grew up watching

"Jaguar" Jon Arnett was the Pride of the Manual Arts H.S. Toilers and the USC Trojans before being drafted by the Rams.

He was a life long L.A. favorite son as Manual Arts, USC and the Rams all played their games just a few blocks apart.

This photo of Y.A. also popped up on the net this week, apropos as the Rams host the 49ers on Sunday.

The Washington Huskies really need to
come out wearing these the next time we
have a "Throwback" uniforms game

SWEET!

Great to see that good friend
Jesús Sánchez will be coaching
the Mallorca Voltors in the
Spanish DI league again in 2023

Big game this weekend in Milan
between Italy and Great Britain

On Thursday, we drove down to Orange County to meet with our college roommates Sandy and Loren Brucker for lunch and a J.V. football game.

Lunch at this iconic Newport Beach
spot was as amazing as we had hoped

life to just a few simple words

On to the J.V. football game . . .

far end of the Dana Hills field

We were there to watch the Brucker's
grandson Jack play

He is a Running Back/Outside Linebacker but was battling a painful hip pointer suffered in last weekend's action.

He fought through the pain and scored Northwood's First Quarter TD on a 70-yard Hook and Lateral play where he got to show off his blazing speed.

There was lots of passing in this game

It was not the Timberwolves day as Dana Hills battled to a 27-6 Pacific Hills League victory to end the season for both teams.

Reading Is FUNdamental!
