• So it has been a while since my first and only blog entry. So, I decided to post a new one just to prove that I am still alive and. After reviewing my last entry I was reminded of the US’s disappointing showing in the world cup. So much for taking it to the next level I guess. That is behind us now and the US soccer program has been infused with some young players like Justin Mapp and Jonathan Bornstein not to mention a new coach. Everything looked good in their first international match against Denmark with the US coming out on top 3-1 without any of our players that play abroad. The real test should come on the 7^th when the US takes on Mexico right here in Glendale, Arizona. I have tickets and am so excited to be going. I am fairly certain that I will be one of the few fans of the US at the game, some are approximating as much as 80% Mexico to 20% US fans, but I think we will come through.

   

  In other news:

  I had a great time at the WCR concert in Tucson over the weekend. The concert was fantastic and it was great getting to know the guys (and girl) form Tucson. Hiking was a lot of fun and the mountain lion warning paper was priceless.

              School is back in the swing of things. I think my history of Elvis class is my favorite. There was an entire section in the book devoted to early Elvis’ hair and how he started the D.A. hair style, which made the back of your hair look like a duck’s behind. Oh, and there was a test question on that. I am glad to see Arizona tax payer’s money go to providing such a quality education.

              On the home front the family is all doing well. Chris is supposed to take his final driving test sometime this week and get his license. That will be more than a little frightening. Matthew is attending school at the same building where I went to high school. I pray he has better memories there than I did. Jenny is no longer Jenny it is now Jennifer or Jen. I still call her Lucy in lieu of the fact that she occasionally acts like Lucy Ricardo of “I Love Lucy”.

   

  Hopefully I will post a bit more frequently in the future. But that’s all for now.
