And I forgot my camera!!

So, I'm a jerk for not getting this whole thing on video for y'all, but Scottie's dream came true. He actually participated in a Football Salon game this week! It was Team Gringo vs. A Bunch of Old Ticos. (Scott was on team gringo, obviously). There were three Americans, Two Dutchmen, and a German (all in their mid-twenties to early thirties). Oh, and of course, Adrian...he's Tico, but a practicing Gringo. He arranged the whole match, and he assured scott that the other team was all over 50, so not too worry about being too humiliated. Turns out, it was a pretty close game, 16 to 14. The Ticos won. Obviously.
It was a very spirited game, yet managed to remained respectable. (As opposed to another game we saw where the goalee was strangled and thrown off the field by his own teammate. He deserved it.) Scott played goalie in the end, blowing the game and right before the buzzer took a shot directly to the face. What a loser.
I didn't write that. Scott did.

So we've got the weekend housesitting for the Babcocks (Amber and Nathan). We're enjoying the use of a real kitchen and a DVD player! It has made Scott nostalgic for Colorado. And I think we just got roped into another awkward social situation tonight. A double date with a Tico couple...they speak no english, and our spanish has quickly deteriorated since we stopped taking classes last week. It should be interesting.

Hey Scott,
What happened to your glasses with the shot to the face???? Just like old times, "MOM, I broke my glasses, it was't my fault, Mark did it!"
Has anybody heard from Jeff??? That crazy guy in North Korea is stirring things up, I wonder if he's sitting guard duty in the sea of china???
Dad just had to use the roto rooter thing again, "GOODS TIMES",he's in a pleasant mood now.
No new job yet, still working on it. Get to see the sisters at coffee on Fridays, that's worth all the hassle of job hunting.
LOVE MOM
