From Owen to Owens

Went to OSU Thursday to watch nephew Owen compete in the State High School Basketball final four. Unfortunately, his team lost.    

After the game, William and I walked back to the car and stopped off at the Jesse Owen's Track and Field Stadium and took a couple photos. 

 

  

Here's a photo of William standing next to one of Archie Griffin's Heisman Trophies, located in side the Hall of Fame Museum in the Schottenstein Center. 

Good Job Owen

Nephew Owen (#14) made it to State basketball semi-finals, losing today while playing at the Schottenstein Center at OSU.  We're all proud of Owie !!!!

 

 

C-Bus Showdown

Went to Columbus tonight to watch a battle of two playoff-bound teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs showed more desire tonight in a 5-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.   If you've never been to an NHL game, I highly recommend traveling to Nationwide Arena to see a game. Even for the marginal sports fan, the staff at Nationwide do an excellent job keeping every one having a great time!!

 

Family Affair

Great weather today and since there was no school (fog), William, Suzie and I spent a lot of time outside.. As usual, Suzie Dog keeps a lookout for anyone who might harm his buddy William. 

 

Enough's Enough

Prediction....... Fed will retire IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING any one of these achievements:

1)  Wins one more Grand Slam title 

2). Finishes the year at #1

 

Erectile Malfunction

In Sep of 2015 I published a blog entry titled "Remember When" in which I told the sad story about the demise of The Northridge Tennis courts.   In this latest photo, you can see what now remains of those courts.   The new owners, Elks Club, decided to bulldoze courts #2 and #3 and 

 

erect their new clubhouse. It should be noted the new owners of this property saved court #1, which sits northeast of the new clubhouse.  

Friday Night Lights

Every Friday for the past two years I assemble 2-3 courts of my members at Twos Athletuc Club for a little Friday afternoon court battle.   My seasonal work at Twos ends in three weeks.  

 

Perrysburg Beauty

Drove thru downtown Perrysburg today.   Lovely small town.  Unique blend of small town charm, modern shopping convenience, beautiful scenery.
