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…
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…
I estimate we’ve spent around $400,000 between Cal and Oregon. Tuition at Cal and Oregon should come with a couple complimentary primo seats for at least one football game. If they did, this would be it. Gina and I went to the first college game to be played at Levi Stadium last night and we…
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…
I was going to fish this morning but I remembered that today, will be the opening of the biggest free bet offer and I have to quickly sign up and get free rewards, the first day of the Labor Day Weekend, is the opening day of College Football. I faced a decision this morning ,…
Do you feel that in the air? Ducks football is about to start again and finally a worthy preseason game in a few weeks–September 6th, the Ducks play the defending Rose Bowl champions Michigan State at Autzen Stadium in Eugene and the first year of the new BCS rankings begins! Preseason polls rank Oregon number…
This last week we celebrated Mia graduating with a Masters Degree from Columbia University in New York. She is now the first of the Syn’s to graduate from an Ivy League college and although her career path is uncertain, she has successfully mastered and overcome the academic, personal, and financial rigors of Columbia University graduate school…
There was a time not long ago that I honestly believed that my son had ADHD. I remember it clearly. We were trying to learn about Mitosis and Meiosis for high school Biology. I looked into his eyes and I saw vocational school. This last quarter at University of Oregon, he accomplished something extraordinary-he received…
Time flies when you hang with toddlers. Especially when you remember when they were born. Ken and Erin Long are our favorite Parents with Toddlers. Today was Kaitlyn’s 45th Birthday and they held it at a Gymnastics Club just like we use to do with Mia! I bet her husband has already picked out his…
Christmas is only a couple weeks away, the tile in the entry way is being upgraded, next week is our annual office Christmas Party and we still don’t have a tree a week into December. After a full schedule of patient this morning, we decided to make a run to the Santa Cruz mountains…
“..it is not happy people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy…” For the first time ever, Gina and I spent Thanksgiving with the kids in New York . It was a grand feast prepared by my sister in law’s family. Mark flew in from Oregon to join us and Mia brought…
I was feeling the bad MOJO when I heard the comments from some key players last week that the Rose Bowl was no big deal. Comments like that never go without consequence and now the Ducks are out of the Rose Bowl Race beat by an unranked team. How sad that they self destructed…
USC did Oregon a solid last night in the the last minute of play by beating the ego out of Stanford with a game winning field goal. Did you hear it- the roar from Eugene last night at 8:15 PM? How appropriate that Stanford gets upset like that only a few weeks after pulling off…
A team that got beat by Utah just crushed Oregon’s hopes of a Rose Bowl and a BCS championship. Marcus Mariota played the game with a Knee Brace with a MCL partial tear and his running game suffered the consequences. The power running game of Stanford appeared unstoppable in the first half with their offense…
I haven’t been as excited for a college Football game since Northwestern last went to the Rose Bowl in 1996. With 10 undefeated college teams left. The real football season starts on Thursday as ranked teams start weeding out the top 10. This Thursday night (6pm on ESPN), The Undefeated Oregon Ducks play Stanford in…
With 66-3 victory over Nicholls State (Louisiana) setting a school record for total yards in a game at 772 yards, there is little doubt in my mind that the Duck System is still intact post Chip Kelly. Originally scheduled to play Kansas State , Nicholls State was a last minute fill in and rumor has…
GO DUCKS!
This week after a world-wind three days of Bed Bath and Beyond, Pier One, BJ’s, Target and Michaels, plus a bunch of random boutique hardware stores only blocks away from her new Upper West Side Apartment, I finally discovered why I like Dentistry so much–I love the challenge of assembling Ikea furniture. Mia has officially…
Success at last! We started the quest for an apartment in Manhattan 8 days ago in New York and managed to rent one today with the help of our relatives in New York willing to walk the listings with a great broker–Jenny Nokeo. Jenny was best thing about the whole experience. She was one of…
The fourth of July in NYC is a tradition in our family. This could be Nicks last year to travel. Our goal this year was to secure an apartment for my daughter near Columbia in the upper west side. More on that shitfest in a later post. Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer
