Beside the equipment truck, in the parking lot, Griff, Durango and the new Athletics Director, Akoni Alualu, discussed transportation to the home of the LA Basin Swifts. "The bus ride is too long", Durango revealed. "Friday afternoon we will fly from SFO to Los Angeles. There, the well-funded Swifts will provide transportation to their campus."

"Friday I will drive this equipment truck from here to that campus", Akoni responded. "No problem. From my previous job as West Coast Hawaiian Beer Distributor. I know the route well."

"'Skyscraper' has arranged dinner with his team on his campus. That will keep DeJuan out of West Hollywood lounges,“ Griff said. Hopefully. "Meanwhile, River, Big Dog and the entire Offense -- including the O-Line -- have been practicing our version of the 'no huddle' Offense, but we won't reveal it until the Second Half when their Defense is tired."

"In the course of delivering beer to that campus", Akoni interjected, "I have dined in their cafeteria. Their chef is a veteran of Hollywood Michelin-starred restaurants. Breakfast may potentially slow down our team."

Up on the hillside, Yuri and Phoebe were heading to the portable synthetic ice rink -- skates slung over their shoulders, as if they were high school kids on their way to the local pond. Phoebe was wearing a semi-casual blue green long-sleeve ballet slit top leotard. An October breeze whirled the accompanying green silk skirt around her shapely long legs.

arrow "Has Yuri been working out?" Durango inquired.
