is seven now. From the looks of it he’s not too happy about it. Probably at the age now where he just doesn’t want to be reminded of that old ticking clock. Don’t get him anything, and no dad-gum surprise parties. Just let him sleep in and maybe some socks or underwear if he needs ’em.
Thanks to all the parents and kids who made his day such great one. Had a fun time with The Grandparents P too. And check out the numero Siete gallery for some pics of the day. Oh and a happy birthday as well to Uncle Dan, another over-the-hill old fart.
What is it? H says he may be part German Shepherd, part wolf, part pit bull. Hard to say. The county animal shelter’s paperwork said he was a “happy dog”. I’m waiting on a full moon to find out for sure. See more beastly pics in the Beast Gallery.
There’s a bunch of them. What’s your favorite? H liked Leggo rock.
Here are some zombie pics from Saturday night. A frightful green headed phantasm from beyond, and a run-down, over-the-hill librarian zombie, not to mention a creepy little brain-eater (prefers chocolate brains). I’m still not sure if the big hole in Main Street is really construction, or perhaps the city is digging a mass grave for the undead? Whatever, i’m barricading myself in one of the boarded-up businesses and i’m not coming out until daylight.
Hope all the undead had as great a time as we did. Check out the rest of the Zombie album, if you dare.
Fun game between El Scram and U7 Sting, who were looking a little like the old NASL Chicago Sting (is that Pato Margetic with the hair?). I lost track of the score, but if was a good game with the egg-beaters becoming world class players. C. also getting pretty good with the pics.

Another week, another older more experienced team. Scramblers hung in there, but got a littled gassed at the end, to the tune of 7-4. At least it wasn’t 52 – 0 or, whatever Boise State did while they were in town. Henry, Matteo, Carlo had Golassos. No pics, because assistant photography director/idiot coach forgot the camera battery.

Coaches keep their jobs for at least another week.
An exciting weekend of action in the U7 Premiership had the SuperKids taking on a Scram team still looking for its first goal of the season. All the scramblers looked a little gun shy after last weeks pounding, and quickly fell behind by several goals. It didn’t help that the umbrella shade being blown around was serving as a happy distraction on the sideline. Over juice and snack bars, it was decided to switch around the personnel, hoping to find the right combination. Whatever it was worked, and Los Scramblers quickly reeled off 5 goals. S-kids got one back but the day belonged to the egg-beaters. It was a fun game to watch and all the kids were happy and are learning the game, slowly but surely. Congrats to Carlo, Saturday’s birthday boy. Will they continue improving against the U-8 R Gators in two weeks? Check out more pics of this week’s action in the Scramblers gallery.
