Giants Win, Giants Win World Series in Seven

Someday, years from now,   when Im old and gray, and Mia and I are sitting at my grandsons little league game,  we will talk about the epic  2014 World Series that we got to witness and we will always share the memory of being at Game 4.   Against all odds the Giants win the World Series…

The Delta 10-27-2014

I decided to put a  couple hours into the delta this weekend Sunday evening and Saturday Morning.  Sunday evening was breezy and I managed a couple fish right before dark while listening to game 5 of the World Series.   I was hoping for some top water action but the fish were a no show.…

Last night has to be the best World Series Game I have ever witnessed.  Loosing and behind in the series till the 5th inning and rallying to win 11-4 to tie the series was surreal. The game was 4 hours long –we were standing for 3 of those hours  cheering our team on till our lungs…

Drowned Ducks

Having both your favorite college football teams beat by the same team  is a new type of agony.  The Arizona WIldcasts for a second year in a row upset the Oregon Ducks. Two weeks ago they beat CAL with a Hail Mary pass.   You can blame last nights Duck fail on many things that are not that surprising.  The…
