A Lounging About Sunday at Home

 

Sunday, March 29, 2026

After a busy week, we decided for a much needed quiet day at home today.

Still, we do have to report on a drastic, potentially shameful change in our family's dynamics.

During this weekend's Civil War Reenactment at Riley's Farm in Oak Glen, CA, our two favorite Union soldiers . . .

. . . fought for the Rebels!

If captured, they will be shot as traitors to be sure unless they could prove to have placed themselves even deeper in harm's way by serving as spies for General Grant.

Our family hopes that working under cover for the Union is the true nature of this otherwise despicable defection.

Reviewing the day's results from the EuroBall arena took my mind off of this worrisome problem.

Let's start in Spain . . .

Then there was this posted on Facebook about some Italian teams meeting today that I had never heard of before.

A Championship Game
Valtellina Vikings vs. Salento Spiders
to be played in Florence

With a Third Place Game too,
San Giorgio Jonico Vespe vs.
Brianza Commandos

Upon further research, I found them to be playing in yet another level of Italian American football that engages teams in the 7-man version of the game.

Just a few days ago we sent a box of pants and game socks to the San Giorgio Jonico Vespe which also plays at this level.

If I understand it correctly, the tournament in Florence this weekend the Championship of Italy's 7-Man League.

Hopefully, we'll have the results of these two games up tomorrow.

Jacob's looming first high school
season is beckoning

It brought back memories of our
wonderful Delaware Wing-T days
at Westlake H.S. from 1978-1988

Does American football ever stop in this household?

Probably not.
