last game of the season

Posted by greglarson in family, sports at 4:24 pm | Permanent Link

well, it is Caleb’s last game of the season today.

He made the JV team for the high school team, which was quite an accomplishment — considering there are close to 3,500 kids that go to that school. (and tons of kids play soccer!)
Speaking of the school (John Marshall High School) - from the outside, it […]

Caleb & the grandparents

I know, I know — I probably talk too much about my family, but here goes again. Caleb just got done with one Hollywood neighborhood soccer league, and now the high school season is starting for him. It is a great way for him (& for the family) — to meet people in the area, […]

Caleb has been playing on a local Hollywood neighborhood team until the high school season starts here this month. They just got done with their league games, and tied for the championships. He actually scored the tying goal in the 90th minute of play last weekend!

L.A. Galaxy news

Now that the Galaxy are storming to the playoffs (possibly), it looked like Beckham was going to play, & now that is in question.
I am still holding out hope, that he will make some kind of difference for the Galaxy this year…

Beckham came to town, & Caleb got to see it…

Posted by greglarson in Friends, Los Angeles, family, sports at 8:41 am | Permanent Link

This morning, I am green with envy. My son Caleb got asked to go to Beckham’s inaugural game in L.A. last night.

A good friend of ours here in L.A., and someone that I get to work with — his name is Greg also — asked Caleb to go. He only had 2 tickets, and somehow […]

LA Galaxy clinic & game

Posted by greglarson in Los Angeles, family, sports at 7:17 pm | Permanent Link

We heard about a soccer clinic that the L.A. Galaxy sponsored for ‘kids in the city’. (for any non-soccer people — the Galaxy are the professional soccer team here in LA)

So Caleb wanted to ask a friend from school — Rudy.

They had a blast. They did a bunch of drills, learned some things & got […]

The biggest sporting story in the world yesterday… MLS’ Galaxy sign David Beckham.
Caleb was bouncing off the walls, when he heard the news, that he turned down Real Madrid, and signed with ‘our’ team.
unbelievable
we got him for ‘only’ $250 million, for 5 years.

thoughts about USC game & about life

Posted by greglarson in Los Angeles, sports, theology at 6:40 pm | Permanent Link

My family and I were watching the Michigan — USC game yesterday (which USC won by the way, 32-18 ). I had the gall to actually say that maybe we should root for Michigan (being from the Midwest & all) — but after Caleb skewered me for that one, I settled on cheering for […]
