It has been almost a month since my last post and Julien Urgenti from Lyon has been pushing me to post something new about our slow paced life in sunny California, so here goes.
32nd ANNUAL
VENTURA COUNTY
SPORTS HALL-OF-FAME
INDUCTION DINNER
On June 8th, we met at the Ventura Beach Marriott Hotel to induct five new members into our county's Sports Hall-of-Fame. One of those five was a very dear friend of ours, Rick Scott.
Rick Scott
Rick was a legendary figure in Ventura County as a former player at California Lutheran University, as a basketball official, as an assistant football coach at Newbury Park H.S., Moorpark College and Rio Mesa H.S., and as a head football coach at Hart H.S. and Buena H.S.
He was also an amazing character and a loyal friend.
It was Rick who made me promise to go coach American football in Europe with him once we retired as teachers. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to retire passing away suddenly of a heart attack back in 2004.
I was honored to speak on
Rick's behalf for his family

After our morning JV football practice last Thursday, Mike talked me into this wee, vertical stroll.
It was hot and I was definitely not in tip-top shape for it but the views from this area that was burned badly a year ago were worth it.
Lily Todd's Birthday
I taught with Lily's father Ben for several years at Rio Mesa H.S.
I was also the person who officiated at Ben and Krystal's wedding several years ago. Today we celebrated their daughter's third birthday.

Reading Is FUNdamental
This was the third book that I have read by Mosse and her interesting viewpoints on the magical, mystical Carcassonne area of southern France.
No, it is not Provence.
Short Stories
This book was full of good and not so good offbeat stories from Hammett's days as a pulp detective magazine writer.
