#24 Done! Brittany Scores the Game Winner.

Riverside—The UC Riverside Women’s Soccer Team got back on the winning track Thursday evening as they upended visiting UC Irvine, 1-0. The Anteaters had revenge on their collective minds following last year’s loss to the Highlanders in the Big West Conference semifinals (box score/recap/video recap), but instead it was UC Riverside winning back-to-back matches against Irvine for the first time in the history of…

#84 Done. Gigantes!

#84: Go to a Giants Game

Let’s go Giants!

Four hours early.

Pregame walk.

Not a bad spot for a beer.

Feels like just yesterday that I was on a plane.

Mahalo

UCR vs Hawaii

Brit battled for 50 minutes and played great, but her team fell in double overtime 2-1.

#52 in Progress

#52: Enjoy three new beaches. The Blow Hole Beach on Oahu.

Watching the Bears….. At 7am.

We could’ve stayed at the bar, but the paddle ball kit we bought earlier in the day was calling our name.

Stole Brit away from her team for an hour so she could enjoy one of her favorite foods, Hawaiian Poke.

#52 in Progress, Lanikai, Oahu

#52: Enjoy Three Beaches

#79 DONE: Manoa Fallas, Oahu

Going full Hawaiian for breakfast. Spam and eggs.

Dinner at Le Mer

Happy Birthday, Anna!

Quick morning walk.

The best part of Brittany playing in the Big East is the away game at the University of Hawaii. Unfortunately, Brittany is injured, but will find a way to cope.

Quelling my daughters fears of traveling to Honolulu for her game against the University of Hawaii.

Flying over Pearl Harbor with a plane full of Japanese. Kamikaze! Too soon?

Not sticking around to see what 106 degrees in October feels like.

Thank You Big Country

It’s an even year. 2010, 2012…2014?

#100 Done

#100 Find a regular barber. It took awhile, but I finally found the old school barber that I was looking for.

Watched Brit play Texas Tech online. The #6 Texas Tech Red Raiders scored the winning goal in the 80th minute to deny the tie.

He’s been gathering balls all day without any luck of convincing us it’s a pool day.

Only way to follow up a perfect lunch is dinner at Mario Batali’s Osteria Mozza.

#46 Done

#46 Eat at Fishing With Dynamite. I wasn’t sure why I added this beach restaurant to the list until we were finished. A perfect lunch.

I often forget we live in a world renowned beach city. For the first time this year we hung out at Manhattan Beach.

My #14 started her second straight game and helped UCR beat Duquesne 2-0. She’s off to Lubbock, Texas to take on undefeated Texas Tech, the number six team in the country.

It’s truffle season. Not much to look at, but it doesn’t get better than pasta smothered in white truffles.

Enjoyed the bench clearing, warm and fuzzy Giants/Dodgers rivalry with my Dad.

Saints in N’awlins

Even though we didn’t have time to hang out in the city, it was great taking in the Saints/Vikings game with some friends.

#65 Done

#65 See an SEC Game. Over 102,000 people strong gathered for the LSU-Miss. St game. The “underdogs” won, but I because I didn’t have a dog in the fight I enjoyed every bit of it.

A quick stop on our way to the LSU game. Bloody Mary’s and BBQ.

      After a few delays, we finally landed in Monroe and immediately headed over to one of our employee’s grandparent’s house. I soon found out that her grandfather is Louisiana musical legend G.G Shinn who also happens to be a great cook. After a late dinner, we swung by our customer’s store to drop off some Basically Me in anticipation of Friday’s…

Up in the air. No window seat.

#94 in Progress

One of the best non-fiction books I’ve read in a long, long time.

Excessive is one word for it.

Home to Mastros in Malibu and back in 5 minutes.

Happy Birthday, Aunt Aimee!

I knew I forgot something. I’m a week late, but I know you of all people will understand. Happy Birthday, Auntie A.

#56 Done

#56: Trade in a car Practical? No. Race car? Yes. The 2015 BMW M4 twin turbo is like driving a Porsche 911, but with the benefit of not being the guy with the Porsche.

Best Gift Ever?

Once Hemingway figures out how to drop the ball into the feeder, this will be used all day long.

Just when she had some momentum going, she went and got concussed at practice today. Team doctors have declared her ineligible for Friday’s home game as a precaution.
