Esteemed Hughes Marino Mini Goalers, I trust you all got out and “laissez les bons temps rouler” with a fun April bike ride! I seized the opportunity for a Pacific Beach, San Diego triathlon, you know, breakfast at Kono’s Cafe, a ride on a beach cruiser along the boardwalk and a long walk back to the car – eating, biking and walking!

Steadfast Hughes Marino Mini Goalers, Or should I say highbrow, cultured, art-loving, museum-visiting HM Mini Goalers? Yep, last month we exercised our minds while contemplating art in all of its expressive forms, and in some cases we became the art in selfies and still poses.
