Mud

So we finally got to play a game on Monday, my local football team, because games had either been rained out or our opponents didn't show up. We did have a pick-up game when the latter happened last time and I think it helped us as a team, because we played really well on monday, won 2-0 and our resident hard-core Catalan finally scored! (Roger had been incredibly unlucky for over a year with his shots, could never seem to get the ball in the net). The best part of the game was the mud, brought back memories:



Also posted here is a picture (hard-copy) sent by my sister of my 2 year old nephew. It was a nice surprise to get the picture in the post and I've placed it in the optimal position on the bookshelf opposite our couch. Thanks Amber!


Gretchen and Adam kindly sent us some lovely flowers too, thank you!


Went shopping yesterday, on my own, decided to give Erika a break from the drudgery, especially because of you-knowwhat. Spent half an hour trying to find some sun-dried tomatoes for her meatball recipe. Got home, found out I went to the wrong store and spent about $70 more for doing so. Damn...

Congrats also to Erika for going full-time. After two years working part-time at ETHS and scrounging extra maths classes, she was offered another class last week to officially put her on the tenure-track. Yea, they do 'tenure' in high school here, weird.

Erika and I watched a good movie last night: "On a Clear Day", British, so of course it was good. I recommend it, especially to my family.

So today, we're going to a Blackhawks game, Chad is in town and tomorrow night I'm hoping to visit the Matsuokas and get blitzed by the li'l ball of energy called Koji.
