The Slice

Is this a new thing?

She has twin brothers.
She has twin brothers.

This is my niece's daughter.

She lives in the other Inland Empire, the one in California.

I have spent time with her on just a couple of occasions -- once down there and once up here. But she seems like a really good kid.

She wrote actual letters to my mother. So big points for that.

Anyway, her graduation announcement notes the college she will be attending in the fall. Is that standard now? Doesn't bother me in the least, just don't recall seeing that before.

Now on to the trivia portion of this post.

If you can read it (click on the photo to enlarge it), you will see that she intends to attend Cal Poly in Pomona. (So now I don't have to go out to Cheney to find friendly Big Sky rivals.) Can you name the 1980s movie about high school football in which a coach hopes to land a job at that very same California school?

Hint: The film has a Spokane connection.
