Running into Pearbear at half time. You can't do that watching TV. For you newer posters, Pearbear used to do the write ups of the games and he was the best writer period. But he got married and had a child and moved to LA, Covid stopped him from returning and now they are esconched there. I hope I am not giving up too much about him. His partner's parents are there and help with childcare. He was up here for Vietnamese New Year. It was so good to see him.

Stats didn't tell us the story here. Their bench supplied their best player. We spent all our energy on defense and it got us in foul trouble. Mjaricle and Sakima were done in. Plus the refs seem to call a foul on the defensive layer every time they held their ground on a drive to the basket. Mjaricle guarded their second leading scorer and did a good job except she was 10 for 10 from the free throw line.

I'm going to Big Sur and Hearst's Castle over the next few days. May not post for a few days.

It was great to see him! I was able to say hello after the game. His write-ups/observations were always so good.

The Bears played hard, but were worn out by the end. I wasn't too thrilled with the refs though. The game wasn't decided by them but jeeeze, some of their foul calls were inexplicable. I suppose that's true most every game though.

Onward and upward Bears. Love this team.

We miss you and your reports, Pearbear, but are glad for your happy family life in L.A. Come back soon!

Back from Hearst Castle. Luckily it didn't rain yesterday.. Big sur was washed out.

You need to come back more Viet. It was so good to see you. Too bad we didn't win.
