Coast to Coast Rick Fraxedas!!!!!
My brother Rick, world renowned water systems engineer, husband to dancing sensation Mari Fraxedas, father of three great kids, double Gator, and all-around great guy (did I say double Gator) is not one to let small matters keep him down. As all our fellow bloggers know by now Rick and Mari recently had a major fire in their beautiful house in Fort Lauderdale. They will be homeless for months. Yet barely a week after the fire Rick was with me at The Swamp for the Gators' opening game against Hawaii. A couple of weeks later Rick was tailgating at the USC campus with Nora and the Katniks proudly wearing a Gator "alumni" shirt in anticipation of USC's historic game against Ohio State. I cannot imagine the fear and loathing, the utter chattering of teeth, on the part of the Buckeyes upon seeing a Gator shirt amid all the Cardinal & Gold... and then, the piece-de-resistance, Johnnie Cueto was wearing an LSU shirt!!!!! Que familia! What a Blog!!! If you click on the title to this post above, it will take you to a Picassa Web Album with the pictures posted to the right in higher definition. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting the pictures. We had a wonderful time with Rick. It is time for the older brother to come this way.
When did I become world renowned?
I'm just lucky to be among such great bloggers.
Rick
Now that you are posting regularly on the blog, you're world renowned!
Who said gators cannot survive outside of the Southeast? Ricardo is living proof that gators not only survive out of their natural environment, they thrive.
Joaq, Ricardo is probably among only a chosen few who can say they were at the Swamp and the Coliseum. Amazing coast-to-coast versatility.
Adios,
Victor
Good take Victor! Have any of you clicked on the title to this post and checked the embedded Picassa web album of the pictures? You can do a slide show etc. It's really nifty. I keep trying to make the blog interactive... Having a lot of fun! Keep blogging!!!
Yes, Joaq. Your continued leadership and expertise is expanding our blog experience (if only we could make some big $$ on this...wow!).
The pics in HD digital quality are fantastic; far superior to the regular pics.
Take care and thanks, again, for all the fun in the sun action.
Victor
Great pictures!!... especially the one of auntie nora and ricardo with our beloved Tommy Trojan!
Fight on!
Michelle, Great to hear from you. I really liked the picture of Brad with Rick. Keep posting and commenting and if you have any pictures you would like to put on the blog, just email them to me. Isn't there a Trojan club in NY that meets in a particular bar to watch USC games? If you get a picture of NY Trojans whooping it up, just send it to me and I'll put it on the blog!
