More Kingswood Trading Cards

We had too much fun with these Kingswood-style trading cards in last week’s Blues Buster.  Check these out:

Play, Eat, Play More

Yesterday’s pace was frenetic, thus all the better that today is dubbed “Slacker Day.” Not so, as I told you before, but the boys are planning on having a full day of assorted activity choices, many of which are designed to step off the gas just a trifle.  We meet in the Council Circle at … Continue reading →

Taking it Easy

A beautiful day it was yesterday and the shutterbugs were clicking about the grounds all day long.  Sara’s selections belie mine as she captured the perpetual exuberance of youth as boys dashed pell-mell from one activity to another as if being drenched in sweat at the mere waggle of a pinky was no big deal. … Continue reading →

Kingswood Original Games

The weather continues to be bright and sunny.  Lots of trips went out yesterday and the afternoon A Block choices were gobbled up by the mere 80 or so souls on the grounds.  As per usual, there was something to sooth everyone’s pallet, but Sara and I both fell upon some of the original Kingswood … Continue reading →

Great Kingswood Catches

In the middle of last week, I posted my favorite campfire story, which I call TOUCHDOWN WE WIN.  It is about the greatest catch in baseball history.  Why, then, TOUCHDOWN?   You best go back and read the story, albeit sort of long.  That one is just below today’s Blues Buster report, which plays on … Continue reading →

The Greatest Catch in Baseball History

OK, kids, gather close and stare into the campfire while I tell you a story about the greatest catch in the history of baseball.  The greatest snag of all time was NOT the back-to-home-plate basket catch by Willie Mays off the bat of Cleveland’s Vic Wertz in the 1954 World Series.  ESPN had that story … Continue reading →
