Royals diary

   By Reagan Rome

   

Another week has gone by with lots of events that have taken place. Christmas is just around the corner and we were a busy bunch this week.
  

 The week started off with a Booster Club Christmas party on Tuesday. I wasn’t able to attend but the guys told me it was a good time. The Booster Club gave all the players winter jackets with the Royals logo on the front. We would like to thank the Booster Club for everything they have done this year and for the wonderful jackets. I asked forward Nick Greenough what he thought of the generous gift.
  

 "They are great," he said. "I think I’m going to get my name and number on the sleeve, though. Thanks for the jacket."
  

 On Wednesday we had to do a promotion out at Ozzie’s, a game place with arcades, laser tag, roller rinks and much more. All the players had a good time with the kids, and I’m sure the kids had a good time too. I asked forward Graig Mischler what he thought of the promotion.
 

  "For the five minutes I was there it was awesome," he said with a smile. "I’m sure when I left people were disappointed and things probably didn’t run as smoothly afterwards."
 

  Thursday was the team Christmas party. First off I would like to thank the Classic Café for providing an excellent meal. I think all the guys were happy to sit down as a team with the staff and share a great meal and good conversation. I asked forward Jeff Miles what he thought about the party.
 

  "Well, personally, I could care less about the meal, I just came to get my Christmas bonus," he said jokingly. "Oh yeah and the clams were really mmm-mmm good."
 

  Well, that wraps up a wonderful week. Have a happy holiday. And remember, don’t drink and drive. You booze, you lose.
