15 down, and less than a handful to go

 Loren turned 15 Sunday.  I know it sounds so cliche, but I swear it seems like it was just yesterday that I was carying her around, or taking her by the hand to walk across the street.  Or explaining that … Loren, crickets don’t bite.   ‘Ants bite, crickets fly.’

This year she had a nice party.  It started off at our local theater, Central Cinema, for a screening of Narnia.  Then a stretch limo took them to In & Out for burgers, and then home for some Twister and cake. 

Picture are available by clicking on the picture on the right, or by going through the gallery link.

Subject: The Line between summary and novels

This previous weekend, ACLC brought two Ultimate Frisbee teams to a college tournament down in Santa Cruz, officially beginning Dark Meat’s Fourth year of existance, and bringing in the first year of the girl’s team " Sweet Meat". As we arrived, Sweet Meat played first, entering a match against fourth ranked Humboldt state. Down 5-0, Sweet Meat took possession near the Humboldt endzone and was able to score thanks to Loren Diesi, the first point in Sweet Meat history. Although they weren’t able to mount a comeback, Sweet Meat’s confidence began building until the last game, where they faced Cal Berkeley and were able to score 5 points. Truely, the future looks bright.

Googling Loren

I took a few moments out today to do a bit of googling, and I found quite a few reminders about some of the stuff Loren’s done since we’ve moved to California.
