Manana

Wednesday's plans changed several times before finally coming together in Berwick. Usually, Wednesday nights are filled with "real job" obligations, but last weekend brought an invitation to a concert at the Kirby- "Clear your schedule for Wednesday night, We are going to see Peter, Paul & Mary!" Puff the Magic Dragon fans will realize right away that the concert was not Wednesday, but rather Thursday- Manana. (I need to make one of these things ~ over the n, but i can't figure out how to do it on this blogging program. Use your imagination.) So a schedule that first had client visits in Whitehall and Bethlehem, then had a concert with 3 aging hippies, suddenly was empty- Good news for volleyball fans young and old, as our staff headed towards the sun setting in the sky to Berwick for the day's festivities.

In recent years, Berwick has had a decent squad- most importantly, they were improving every year. Considering that, maybe this game was a bit of a fluke, as the Royals downed Berwick in three straight (five straight, counting JV action). Credit HR for a strong showing, on the court and in the stands as well.

Some thoughts-

There are quite a few Berwick players pictured in the gallery- 2 reasons- First, how many pictures do we really need of our guys? If you haven't found one you like yet, you probably won't. Second- I had the pleasure of sitting in front of some Berwick moms in the second and third games. They made some jokes about breasts and the power plant that kept me chuckling through the games, so they ended up with a business card & some shots of their players. It's that easy.

It's official. The Holy Redeemer Royals boys are chanters. R.I.P. Dignity.

A note to Berwickians- You live next to the power plant. Turn your lights up! Photos will come out better.

Getting late here on the East coast. Time for bed.

Lots more photos here.

Taking a break for a few days- See you next week!
