Discuss on ooVoo

Wow, what a game!  The suspense is killing me.  In the last 2 minutes, Belmont losing 18 to 25 evened out.  What a game!  Now we have an extra 2 10 minute.

URGH!!! They lost!  31 to 28.  I can't believe it.  What a game.  They lost to a penalty!  What a game.  Darn!  Wait until next year…

Huntington Beach Concours Tomorrow

Discuss on ooVoo

I hope to see as many of you as possible tomorrow at the Huntington Beach old car concours.

I will be bringing my Milano and it will be entered in the daily driver concours.

Click  here for information and directions.

This is our 1989 Alfa Romeo Milano.  It's a verde and has 96,000 miles.  When I bought 3 years ago, no one had ever sat in the back seats.  It is completely original, unmolested and its previous owner took care of it as passionately as I do now.  It is the last one sold in the LA area and probably the last sold in US.  It is also most likely the nicest well kept Milano in the US.  There were three cars at the Santa Monica dealership, a red one, a gray one and this one.  Last I heard the red was somewhere in the vicinity of Pasadena.  It was rumoured to have also been well kept.  I have no idea what happened to the gray one.  All three were floor show models.  It would be terrific to bring them together again.  Anybody knows the others?

Give Our Local Team Good Thoughts And Vibes

Today, our local team plays in Denver against New York Athletic Club, NYAC.  And it's a big game!

For those of you who have ESPN Classic, the Rugby Super League will be on at 5 p.m. PST.  You can always catch it on ESPN360.com.  Read more about  here.  Or you can read directly from the source with Dallen Stanford, one of the team player  here.

So why is this game so important?  Short of it being the finals and, by the way, congrats to our team for making thus far, they are playing against a team that got stronger and stronger this season.  Even though they won against that team, Belmont Shore has had to deal with a lot of changes this year alone.  "Belmont Shore Head Coach Jonnie Cox said. “They will be a formidable opponent.""

So the prognosis?  "…the mere mention of the Belmont Shore side evokes a long-standing
tradition of success over the course of 12 years in Super League
competition – appearing in a whopping nine finals out of those seasons."

"“It has been a little bit of a rollercoaster season for us, but we have
battled our way through early losses, injury, illness and generational
change in the club to the final.” Cox added.

This is THE game of the year.  Belmont Shore has always been a very strong player and gone to the finals regularly.  It is high time we acknowledge our team by watching them and telling people about what is happening in our backyard.  Some of our local rugby boys will be playing for our national team.

So stay tune.  I will use my iPod Touch to keep scores.  And remeber: "the Belmont Shore club who have reached the Super League final in 9 of the past 12 seasons"

Listening, How Well Do You Listen?

I read somewhere we only hear 8% of what is said to us. 8%! What
do we do with the other 92%? In order to grow spiritually, and to
receive the guidance as to the best moves to make, we want to commit to
listening to everyone, no matter how boring, no matter how much we
disagree. You never know when the cosmos is trying to get a message
through to you.
