My Thoughts for February 22, 2015

You’re going to love this one.  Yesterday this ole curmudgeon actually made a date with the wife to go to lunch together.  I was excited (she said yes), she was excited and off we went both babbling like it was our first date.  Wow!  When we got to the restaurant we decided to eat in the bar section; less noise and no crying kids.  I know that sounds a bit cold but after driving school bus and a hundred kids twice a day it feels relaxing to sit in a…

From the time San Pedro High girls soccer started their program in 1987, they would be a regular visitor in either the semifinals of the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division I playoffs, or in the championship game itself, but it hasn't been that way in the last four years, losing in the first round in 2011,…

My Thoughts for February 15, 2015 

It’s happened again!  Another lapse in integrity has happened.  The baseball team from Chicago, the Jackie Robinson West Little League team, has been caught cheating.  Yes, cheating.  There is no other way of saying it.  They didn’t bend the rules, they didn’t make a principled misstep; they conspired to deceive Little League Baseball, and all who love the game.  Unbelievable!  What were those coaches and district managers thinking?  At a time when…

GARDENA - It was not one of the auspicious starts Mary Star High girls soccer was hoping for.

Starting the year 2-6, it seemed like the Stars wouldn't contend for a playoff spot, let alone for the Santa Fe…

It may not have been for an outright victory, but it was a definite feeling of deja vu for San Pedro High girls soccer and junior midfielder Rianni Gonzales.

Nearly a year ago to this day, Gonzales nailed a…

Last year, Ryann Lozano hardly got off the bench for San Pedro High girls soccer during her freshman season and the Pirates got off to a rough start before winning a ninth straight Marine League championship.…

Is it just me, or, is there is less integrity in the world today? I can’t believe the revelation that Brian Williams embellished his trip to the Middle East back in 2003 by claiming his helicopter was hit with a RPG. Further, that they had to crash land. The number one news anchorman of today told a false story ever since his being embedded with America’s finest, our military men. What was it Brian? Were you feeling inadequate? Did you need to…

Wednesday was National Signing Day, where high school football seniors would sign their letter of intent to go play collegiate football for the school they verbally committed to. For San Pedro High football senior offensive lineman Dominic O'Brien, the time was right.…

My Thoughts for February 1, 2015

Are you ready for some football?  Yep, have been all season and as a “12^th” man member it’s been an exciting year.  I’m glad today is finally game day for the Super Bowl.  After a week of super-hyping the game, I’m over the top with football.  In fact, no matter who wins, I’ll be glad to see it all end.  I’ll need months to rest up; for this ole fart, it’s been exhausting. 

And if all the normal super-hype wasn’t enough, we got hit…
