Absolutely disgusted with my son's football coach tonight. Two of our players were absolute jack asses and disrespectful on the field. I can't believe he didn't sit them out. Instead, he argued with the ref's on their behalf. Absolute garbage.
Not to mention we lost 48-7. Good job "coach"

That's likely where the two jack asses got their attitudes.
Last season went to pick my daughter up from cheerleading practice and was early so got out of the car to watch the football practice that was happening at the same time. I was shocked by the foul language and screaming coming from the football coaches. This was a middle school team. What are these people doing coaching our children?
I called the school principal and gave him an earful. #thatmom

Yes, he's paid by the school. ALL the parents were talking about it last night. Even the disrespectful kids mom was yelling from the stands. "DISCIPLINE HIM!!!!"
I guess I'll attend yet another booster club meeting and be that guy.......

It is sorta hard to be disrespectful on a football field when on every place one focuses on delivering as much violence and/or physical effort as possible against an opposing team on every play. Lack of discipline and disrespect would be totally out of bounds when Gary played football. Every player on the team knew the moment anyone opened our mouths inappropriately or acted without honor, we'd be pulled and benched so fast that our jocks would be spinning, mid-air, in place on the field where we were last standing. That is not good coaching.
Competitive sports is all about winning, but a good coach instills and demands that HOW you win is as important the win. While there isn't any defense for being a jackass ... The frustration of losing by a ton, fuels the jackass in athletics. It is easy to be gracious when winning, but ... To play your hardest while losing ... To play with honor while losing ... That is the lesson a true coach brings to the field ... A coach that can instill that type of motivation and honor to the team is a coach Gary want for his kids.
Sorry Eric, you are in a sticky situation because if the coach hasn't learned those basic lessons by now ... You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

If it gets ugly, follow Michelle Obama's lead, when they low you go high.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Yesterday's trip to San Diego was an exceptionally nice day. Gary and Mary Lou skipped Temecula yesterday because we started out later than first projected. It was a nice drive until we hit San Diego County, then bam, we were slammed with very very bad traffic all the way down to the city limits. There were no accidents we could see, no construction, just a ton of unexplainable very heavy traffic on a Saturday morning.
We delivered a ton of stuff to my youngest daughter and her new apartment including, but not limited to: a dozen framed and matted posters of all sizes from 24x18 down to 8x10, wine glasses (hand painted) and a big bag of kale/celery/peppers/lettuce/et al for her Guinea Pig. A quick bite then off to see The Lion King. It has been decades since Gary last saw the musical ... This production was as wonderful as the one Gary saw in Hollywood. The story line is ... Meh, the songs are above average, but the costumes and sets are amazingly stunning and beautiful. As this took place in Africa, the dancers wore traditional-ish costumes of brilliant colors and prints ... Unfortunately all that is gone from Africa, the local textile shops have been replaced by containers of used clothing from America and Europe.
Gary and Mary Lou hit the 2:00 p.m. performance and ghost home at a decent time for some udon and ramen at our local sushi spot and a Netflix on the 'big screen', London Has Fallen. Lots of unrealistic action and decent suspense ... Gary gives it three stars, Mary Lou gave it four.

Gary was feeding his 'Starter' this morning and liked the lighting.

It was great. Ended up being about 40 people but plenty of room for everyone at the location. Made some new friends and we plan to meet back there again for a sunrise shoot before it gets too cold. I think I got a few keepers but it was really windy out so not as many as I hoped. Going to spend the afternoon watching football while editing. Tried a pano but a horizontal not vertical.

Pulled a loaf of fresh biga-started bread out of the oven about a half hour ago, and just pulled out some focaccia with rosemary, sea salt, and grapes out of the oven for our football treat.
It's become a nice Sunday routine.
