The Daily News
1 There's always hope for us Old Brown Shoes.
Last night, forty-year old Arizona Diamondback
hurler Randy Johnson pitched a perfect game
against the Atlanta Braves, defeating the Braves
2-0. Johnson struck out thirteen on the road to
this masterpiece. This overshadowed a beautiful
one-hit performance by the Giants' Jason
Schmidt. It's Spring, and baseball somehow
always transcends its own world. To the layman,
a perfect game means nobody even reached first
base in nine innings of play. Amazing, especially
at forty. Johnson received a standing ovation
from the Atlanta fans.
2 Hope y'all are enjoying the new DN. It's sort of
weird writing this, because the DN always existed
without all this pomp.
3 But it's all good.
4 Well now. It might be of interest to anyone who
is in touch with the history of the Performing Arts
Department at YB that our very own Guiselle
Nunez, a wonderful alumna, who not only went to
Santa Clara University, but served as President
of SCU, is now engaged to Mayor Ron Gonzales. I
had the pleasure of dining with them at Joe's a
few years back, and they were both charming,
intelligent, and clearly in love. I'm proud of
Guiselle, and wish the both of them the very best
that life could offer. Life moves on.
5 Hey!!! Speaking of Band and Choir (How's
THAT for a segue?), next Tuesday is a night for
all of us to remember. On Tuesday next, the
Band and Choir bring their Spring Concert to
the YB community. If you don't know, both
Band and Choir won awards two weeks ago in
a show in Vallejo; embarrassingly, it wasn't
reported here due to online frustrations.
6 Time to celebrate, kids!
7 The end of the school year is beginning to be an
awesome time for everyone! Wow! We have the
Spring Concert on Tuesday, the Senior Ball
Friday night, the Pigeon Players Silent Auction
and Film Festival on Saturday, May 29, 7 p.m.,
the Banquet June 3, 5 p.m. in the Theatre, and
excitement everywhere about next year's events!!
I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but you get
the overall idea. Here is the Pigeon Players' link:
Last year's Silent Auction and Film Festival was
well received. Don't miss this one!
8 It's way spirited and exciting, because generally,
this time of year becomes somewhat of a drain.
Not the case! This place will rock 'til we can no
longer rock this year.
9 It's nice to be able to look forward to things this
late in the school year. I'm usually to the point
now that I want to crash through a wall and
and run screaming, trailed by a cloud of cartoon
dust.
10 But this is all moving just right.
11 'Til the next time...
12 Peace.
