Father stuff



Dad and Regina visited us yesterday. Dad and I watched the UCLA-USC game, and Dad marveled at the picture on our Sony HDTV as USC pounded my alma mater into guacamole, 66-19. (The UCLA score only ventured into double digits because UCLA scored a couple of touchdowns in the last two quarters.) I don't follow football, but Reggie Bush's prowess was evident even to the college-athletics-challenged like me. Mr. Bush apparently needs reminders that there is an opposing team on the field, since he tends to dash down the gridiron as if the guys desperately trying to tackle him didn't exist. He even bounded over the head of one Bruin yesterday a couple of times, in two different quarters, without breaking stride. (The above photos are from the LA Times.)

We all later had dinner with family friend Aaron Epstein at La Serenata Gourmet, one of our favorite restaurants in the area. We are blessed to live in a neighborhood with numerous eateries of various ethnicities and levels of sophistication.

Reggie Bush is a joy to watch even when he is decimating your team (as he did to my cougars earlier this season). Sometimes it's just fun to sit on the couch and grab a beer and enjoy the show.

The Bruins far surpassed expectations this season. They had several come from behind victories
including an improbable comeback against my cougars where they made up a ridiculously large deficit before winning in overtime.
