Vancouver, Here We Come for the State Little League Baseball Championship

We’re heading to Vancouver, WASHINGTON, for the state Little League Baseball Championship Tournament, and our luxurious accommodations are at the La Quinta, which I guess is redundant, because La means The in Spanish. The specter, I mean the prospect, of a weekend with Austin and his teammates and their families looms, I mean gleams, before me. I just hope my limited Spanish will be sufficient for my stay at La Quinta. In grade school I took TV Spanish and learned important phrases like: “Por favor sierra la puerta,” which means “Please, close the door.” This should come in handy while at the hotel. My understanding is that cervesa is another handy word. I forgot to mention that this is the 50th Annivesary of the West Seattle Little League, which is quite momentous.
True to protocol, many of our teammates have painted their cars with slogans advertising our star status and the upcoming challenge. The bad news is that my family has been so crazy busy that I haven't had a chance to paint our car nor have I completed the big player poster assignment. Aaacckk. We'll have to do arts & crafts in the hotel room, and paint in the parking lot.
Once I overcome some technical difficulties, I'll share a Sports Widow TV interview with one of Austin’s more colorful coaches, Coach Kevin, nickname: Full Throttle. This gives you a taste of his supercharged ferocity and conviction. Teammate Jeff makes a special appearance, too.
Let’s see what happens to us tomorrow! Go Red Bulls!
