Down the hill:weekend

Flew down the mountain early Wednesday for the late afternoon NCS soccer match in Santa Rosa. It was a D-5 game Roseland Prep vs. Oakland's College prep.  The Roseland team possessed great skills and easily outscored their opponents.  The game was played under the lights ifo a small crowd.  It was followed by a D1 game :Elsie Allen vs. Montgomery.  We didn't stay.  Mike G., Chris L. and the mayor had to drive back to Marin. Roseland won,4-nil.   They played on the turf field, which is nice for all.

       Friday breakfast @ Raintree cafe was well attended.  Hank M. noted that he was going to Tahoma on assignment for his Production Co, staying in a lakeside chalet that is going to be featured in local publications.  More PR for Tahoma town!  He consented to a ride by the Mayor's office for a "pass-in-review".

       Friday night at the flicks.  Saw "SKIN" @ the Rafael Theater.  This film is well done.  Shot in South Africa, it tells a true story of growing up in a family torn by racial differences in an Afrikaaner life.  The time capsule captures the end of apartheid and the new individual freedoms restored to citizens who lived under its boot for over 50 years.  The star actor is a noted performer with many credits to her name.   An emotional drama, it underscores traditional values with a new reality.  4 stars by Minister of Culture , Tahoma.
