#19 Done

#19: Read 10 New Books. It’s number 11 on the year actually. Happy to be ahead of my regular pace.  Ready Player One is for the fantasy, eighties nostalgia crowd, but it was very well done.

Leaving Las Vegas

Another great festival.

Took a day off from the festival to throw dice,eat a good meal and wear nice shoes.

Back at the lake house

Found a Buddha.

Rams are Back

Helped out an old film school friend by beingg a background actor in his small movie.

New Shoes to Match the Interior

Work let us out early

Brit remains on the DL, so we canceled our trip to Houston and Texas A&M. Since we weren’t suppose to be at work anyway, might as well make it a pool day.

#47 in Progress

#47: See 10 Movies in the Theatre. The M&M commercial before “Scully”.  I’m not sure this should have been a movie, but it was better than most of the crap out they’ve been putting out there lately.

Ann Arbor

The apartment I came home to after I was born.

A couple of decades later, we finally buried George and Rosemary Henshaw, side by side, in East Lansing, Michigan. Despite the fact that my daughter was unable to make the trip, I am here for some important moments because of her.

We’re in Wolverine country.

Off to the land of maize and blue.

#19: Read 10 new books. Loved it.

Watched my niece and nephew star in their respective games.

Looking tough, but Brit remains on the DL.

a great slow burn of a movie.

An Evening at Dodger Stadium

Playing catch. Devin robbing one. Devin in the cage. Pitching notes on the Cub’s Lester. Softball. Sonia stays true to the Cubs with Eric Karros (a former Cub). When I noticed Sonia filming. Catching Devin in the bullpen. Stadium Tour. Wearing Mickey Hatcher’s World Series Ring. Despite my hatred for the Dodger’s, I thoroughly enjoyed an abbreviated fantasy camp at Dodger Stadium with Sonia…

#78 Done

A Night at Dodger Stadium from henry james on Vimeo. #78: Have a Catch Played catch with Devin at Chavez Ravine.

The Night Of.

Great storytelling. Great Acting. Never contrived.

Brittany had another huge cheering section that witnessed Riverside’s first win of the season, but it came at a cost as evidenced by the crutch holding her up. Brit was clipped from behind and rolled her ankle at the end of the first half. Time will tell how long she will be sidelined for.

A win for the Cubs would’ve been a win for the Giants, but it wasn’t in the cards today.

A long team building lunch at the bowling alley. I crushed them.

#38 Done

#38: Watch a Sunset. This one made me pull over and take notice.

#19 : Read 10 New Books Another hit. Recommend.

Back to LA

Lost 1-2 to SFU. A better game, but still questionable subs. Nevertheless, Brit had the biggest cheering section.

#57 Done

#57: Take Devin to a Giants game. Fog burned off the first pitch and made for a perfect day at the ballpark. Sat next to the CEO of Uber, so greats as well.

Beautiful Day at the Ballpark.

Game one ended in a double overtime 0-0 tie with San Jose State. Way too many girls played. Stupid substitutions. It was one of the more painful games to watch.

Found it.

Looking for Ramen in San Francisco.

Ready for the Season!

Season starts tomorrow up North at San Jose State and University of San Francisco. Both are projected to be tops in their respective leagues, but that always seems to be the case with UCR opponents.

#72 Done

#72: See a movie outdoors. Breakfast at Tiffany’s at Mr. C’s.

Dog Days of Summer

Riverside won it’s one and only preseason game, but not too much was learned as to what this team will be. We’ll soon find out as the season begins on Friday in San Jose.

Seniors

Can’t believe we’re here. Proud of my girl.

Trois Mec

  It’s always the little bites….  Took us months to get a reservation, but the first bite made it worth the wait.

They’ll never learn.

Irvine, CA—The Big West announced the results of the 2016 Women’s Soccer Preseason Poll today, and the nine conference head coaches are collectively predicting a sixth place finish for UC Riverside this season. But don’t worry, Highlanders fans. Conference coaches have been woefully inaccurate when it comes to assessing the UC Riverside roster over the past three seasons. Consider that in 2013, Big West…

#19: Read 10 New Books. Normally I wouldn’t choose to read a book about two sisters, but throw in France, WWII and survival and I was hooked. Excellent, sometimes heartbreaking novel.

A true Italinano dinner at Mr C in Beverly Hills. Little did I know it’s the same family as Harry’s Bar in Venice.

Not an ab in sight.
