A hard loss

Posted on 2022-02-13 by Holly

No, not a family member or a football game. But the Cal Women’s Basketball team lost in overtime. I can’t say that either they, or Utah were consistent. Errors were made on both sides. Actually all three side – the … Continue reading →

Not their best performance

Posted on 2019-04-16 by Holly

And more rain

Posted on 2019-01-06 by Holly

Nothing like looking at the forecast and seeing rain. Or, for that matter, looking out the window which just confirms what you already know – it is quite wet out there. There is a strong temptation just to curl up … Continue reading →

I should be studying

Posted on 2018-12-02 by Holly

At least that is what I am telling myself. So far I have reviewed five pages of outlines, several misc. documents, read through my notes, played computer games and skimmed some junk genre fiction. So much for good intentions. And … Continue reading →

Oregon State 66, Cal 56

Posted on 2017-01-06 by Holly

It was not a great night for the Cal Women’s Basketball team. It wasn’t that they weren’t active and out on that court. It was more that they just weren’t sinking the baskets. Why am I telling you this? Senior … Continue reading →
