Let’s Bowl, Daddy’O

Had a fun day of bowling at the Montrose Bowl in the City of Montrose, Ca. It’s straight out of the 1950’s. My department at work took a day off to have some fun and relax. I even sported a bowling shirt! If your looking for a fun place to have a company party check it out.

Hey Daddy'O

Dodger Blues

Jamie and I went into enemy territory today. We suited up in our Angel gear and drove 30 miles north up the 110 fwy to Dodger Stadium. Yes, a freeway series between our first place Angels and the “thankfully the NL West is so weak” Dodgers. I got tickets from a co-worker and they were smack dab in the middle of Dodger season ticket holders. However there were a few us red-clad Angels. Overall the Dodger fans were pretty meek. Especially compared to the Red Sox & Yankee fans that we get at Anaheim Stadium. Though there was one fan who kept screaming, “Dodger Blue!” Unfortunately for him he left a little blue—Angels won!

Ticket Punched!

UCLA is going to the Final Four—again! Three years in a row. Now the team needs to finish the job and bring home banner number 12. Solid all-around game today. Was really getting tired of the “Bruins are lucky” or “bought the refs” crybabies. Especially ESPN hacks. Bruins left no doubt today. On to San Antonio where if they play like today, banner 12 is in sight.

Survive and Advance!

First apologies to my wife, kids, (no Jamie, Daddy is not crazy!) neighbors, City of Long Beach. I was just a little “tense” and “loud” during the game. That’s why they call it March Madness! Now that I have calmed down and my heart rate is back to normal I can write this. My Bruins pulled out a tough win over a very physical Texas A&M team. Down by 10 in the second half, Darren Collison and Kevin Love willed UCLA to a dramatic victory. Seven blocked shots, tough fall-aways by Love and driving layups by Collison to save the Bruins from an early exit in the tournament. The rest of the team, well not so good. Good “block” by Josh Shipp at the end though to seal the win. The others will need to step it up for us to go further. Go Bruins!

March Madness

Well it is time for the madness to begin. UCLA just won the Pac Ten Tournament by beating Stanford—again. It was close but Darren Collison carried the team to a big win. They beat sc and Cal along the way. Hopefully the Bruins can make another strong run to the Final Four and take home the title this year. With Kevin Love and Collison playing strong at this point in the year we have a great chance.

Pac 10 Champs!

Huge win by my Bruins in OT. Great come back victory. Questionable call at the end of regulation–perhaps. But there were missed calls on both sides. Pac 10 Champs three years in a row!

UCLA vs Stanford

Big game tonight for the Pac 10 basketball championship. Also for possible number 1 seed in the west for the NCAA tournament. Anyone who knows me stays away when the Bruins are playing especially when its a big game. To say I am a fan is an understatement. Go Bruins!
