Behind the Scottsdale Community College Performing Arts Center there are five or six towering mulberry trees, old ones. When I leave campus at dusk, there is an absolute riot of birds hanging out in all of these huge trees. Their chattering echoes back and forth between to brick buildings. It s like the last great gossip session before bedtime. I can t decide whether they remind me of a gang of news channel pundits run amok, or of the slumber parties attended by girls in their confusing and hyper-emotional teen years. Some days I think one way, some days another. And some days, my brain goes to The Birds, and I hurry to my car and drive quietly away before they notice me nearby.

Just one tiny moment, but it blew my mind. We have some of the best sunsets ever. When I see something so gorgeous, I always feel the sky loves me. I used a teensy snippet of music performed by D-Squared. It s their cover of Buckeye Jim.

       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You TubeThe ROCORI Spartans Volleyball team took to their home court as they looked to duplicate their regular season success in their first game of the playoffs. Although ROCORI was heavily favored, the team was not about to take the Litchfield Dragons team lightly. After a number of long volleys back and forth, the Spartans took control of the first game after coming up with a remarkable save in the far backcourt. Game two the Spartans continued their dominance as they put together a 6-point mini run early in the game. The Dragons could never regroup as they began to make mistakes and simply could not match ROCORI’s athleticism. Be sure to watch all of the highlights from this match and stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more Spartans’ playoff highlights. ************************************************** This story is sponsored by Bella Rosa Salon & Spa.

I love Maya s Farm, where I m a CSA member. This is my share of the food booty this week I get one of each item. I m personally thrilled the turnips are back. My favorite way to eat them is raw, dressed with a little vanilla olive oil, honey and white wine vinegar. I ll be eating these babies now through winter and into spring.

       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube The ROCORI Spartans football team went into their playoff matchup against the Little Falls Flyers with more injuries than you could shake a stick at. For starters, the team had none of their starting linebackers from the season opener. Coupled with the broken hand suffered by senior quarterback Derek Lieser, the Spartans would be in for a tough game against their gritty opponents, the Little Falls Flyers.        *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You TubeROCORI opened up sluggish on offense as Nate Meyer started at quarterback. Two sloppy plays later, Lieser came in and threw a strike to the normally sure-handed Eric Loxtercamp who then dropped the ball. That set the tone for ROCORI as they simply could not move the ball and were constantly fighting an uphill battle when it came to field position. Eventually, the Spartans would put together a scoring drive and take a 7-0 lead in the second quarter. However on the ensuing kickoff, ROCORI yielded a 60-yard return that would setup a short field for the Flyers. A few plays later the Flyers tied the score at 7-7. The turning point in the game may have taken place when ROCORI could not advance the ball deep in their own territory with under a minute left. Punting with under 30 seconds left, the Flyers got the ball on the ROCORI 24 yard line. Two plays later they cashed in another touchdown and led 14-7 at halftime. The second half was more of the same for both teams as the Flyers continued to pound the ball on the ground while ROCORI’s defense kept them from scoring until a big touchdown run put the game out of reach. Watch all of the highlights from both halves and be sure to stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more Spartans’ sports highlights. ***************************************** Special thanks to Central Minnesota Federal Credit Union who sponsored this story.   The Central Minnesota Federal Credit Union in Cold Spring is proud to support the rich tradition of ROCORI athletics and the contribution it makes to student development.  At the Central Mn Federal Credit Union, all ROCORI athletes are Champions in our community.Learn More About CENTRAL MN FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONNEW!
