Good Weather with Early Clouds, Late Sun

When I left my home in Chino Hills this morning, it was overcast and cool. About 15 to 20 minutes later when I arrived at the Chaparral it was sunny and warm. What a difference a few minutes and about 12 miles can make. Of course, I was pretty late arriving there. I didn't leave the house until it was about 9:00 am. However, I did get there in time to see Kent, Danny, Rich, Luis, Randy (Kobe), Larry, Eric, Ike, Victor and others involved in a game. You can catch a few videos of the game below.

Kent and Ike talk after Kent's last game.

Here are the videos:

Randy was visiting today from his home Las Vegas. Apparently, he is visiting his sister in Malibu and drove for 2 hours to come and play ball with the WB this morning. We were all very honored and pleased to see him today. Especially after knowing about the effort he put into coming. He had to leave his sister's place in Malibu at around 5 am to make it to the games this morning. It was good to see Randy (aka Kobe), he hasn't aged a day. He has switched jobs and is currently working at the airport out there.

I have a side bar dedicated to our good friend Zachary Delarosa, Victor's son. Unfortunately, he was involved in a pretty major accident. His car was hit and flipped over the median strip on Temple Street. His car was totaled but he was not. He is in relative good health following the accident. However, he did sustain an injury to his left arm. There was a pretty significant laceration on the arm that required stitches and skin grafting. He has also been hooked up to a small, portable pump to remove excess fluid from the site of the wound. Fortunately, he can continue his studies at Cal Poly Pomona while he recovers from the injury.

Let us all send Zach our well wishes and include him in our prayers for a speedy recovery.

Get well real soon Zach because you still have work to do here at the Chaparral on Saturday mornings!!

October Day - 10-08-2011

Great Autumn day, cool and sunny. Who could ask for more? I got to the courts pretty late. I was pleasantly surprised to see 2 courts active. Although, one court had a four-on-four game underway, it still counts. I was actually seeking a three-on-three game because I wanted to take it easy on my leg. But, I ended up playing a few full court five-on-five, fully loaded games. However, I had to take it somewhat easy, knee is still recovering.

Here are a few pictures from Robert "Wei-Jin" Lee:

Saturday, September 17th, 2011 - That's Hoop-e-cating not Hallucinating

Here are a few pictures from the September 17th get together. I love the overcast days. They tend to be cooler and therefore more fun than the super sunny, hot days.....

Here are the pictures:

I didn't play this day. Still recovering from a knee injury that won't seem to heal. But it continues to get better. Old bones heal slowly though....

Take care everybody....
