Down...set...

I'm impressed with today's Pop Warner football. I've been to a few of John's practices and it is clear sports science has caught up. What I have seen so far, those practices are highly technical and disciplined. And, they play on what appears to be fairway grass. More to do with it being in Marin County than anything else I bet. I hate to sound old, but we were lucky to have a continuous line of grass any where on our practice (or playing) field. I find it hard not to think about my days playing midget for Leon's (the local grocery store that sponsored us) in south LNK. Compared to what I have seen with Pop Warner, we were just playing smear the queer for two hours. I still remember a few pops from Hesse.

"Tackle the man with the football" just doesn't sound as good.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship. -Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900)

I have passed more people on the right than on the left while driving on the California highway. I hate to say it but it’s a lot of AWD who are the culprits. Camping in the left lane wouldn't fly in Germany!

Last night, I went to see Spoon and Death Cab for Cutie at the Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley. Great outdoor venue and entertaining show! I wasn't expecting much having seen DCFC in a sub par performance on SNL a few months back and was pleasantly surprised. They, along with Spoon, were on top of their game. All the camera phones in the audience looked like a field full of fireflies on a warm Nebraska summer night.

I could be described as rangy (RAYN-jee) adjective.
