Shared breakfast with the Rogue River Eagles followed by morning practice for both teams were memories not shared by Mira and Caydance. They took their place in the Huygens stands just in time to see Huygens run onto the field in new silver and blue uniforms. On silver helmets, the team's logo -- the original Fairchild chip with its four transistors on a silicon wafer -- shone in the early October sun.

"Looks like not only the team but also our men have been working out", Mira said to Caydance.

"Yes, that is the real purpose of their after breakfast "strategy" meetings. After seeing the Wolves new stadium I thought that a Hockey stadium is rising here just over the hill, but Griff only wants more gym thingies, and free hotdog and soft drink concessions. And for me, it’s Griff and Durango standing together in their new silver and blue tee shirts."

"And the way the perfect green stadium grass reminds me of grass tennis courts at Longwood."
