Friday evening we traveled back in time to Karen's alma mater, Charter Oak H.S., to watch the Colony H.S. Titans take on the Charter Oak Chargers. Karen had to sit on the "visitors side" this night.  Karen is quick to add that since she left the school it has been joined with their cross-town rival Royal Oak H.S. and changed from the Lancers to the Chargers.

There were also many memories for me at that school, having worked at Covina P.D. from '78 to '84.  I made a lot of overtime working football games there.

The game was very exciting with Charter Oak ahead 23-22 and then 26-22.  But Colony came back with a touch down with about 5 minutes left and then scored on an 60 yard interception return to put the game away.

Colony now plays Los Altos this Saturday for the CIF Central Division championship.

Since we were in the area, we ate at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, El Loco, located on Cypress, just east of Azusa Ave.  There was even a guy with a karaoke machine there, but I couldn't get Karen to sing.
