[image title=”img_3902_edited-1″ size=”thumbnail” id=”2048″ align=”none” linkto=”viewer” ] Day two of our 2008 family vacation finds us still in Barcelona.

November 29, 2008 by 2 Comments
[image title=”img_3849″ size=”thumbnail” id=”2044″ align=”none” linkto=”viewer” ] Upon arrival at Barcelona we quickly moved through passport control and customs. I was a bit fearful as we headed (with our 7 large bags – I thought we were moving) to the taxi stand. I had encouraged Suzanne to arrange for transportation to the apartment ahead of […]

November 19, 2008 by 1 Comment
I finally had an opportunity to see on of Sean’s basketball games yesterday. All of his games start at 3:30 in the afternoon which means leaving work about 2:30 just to get to the close games. Most would require me to leave even earlier. The middle school games are supposed to be organized into A, […]

Football season is barely over, but basketball season has begun for Sean this week. They have already played two games and his middle school team is 1 – 1. Sean is the starting point guard for the team. Its ironic that he is even playing basketball. The sport was my favorite growing up as a […]

Today was the last game of the season for Sean’s football team. It ended much the way it began, on a bad note. They lost again today by a score of 45 – 14 to Benson. It also closed out a winless season for the kids. The game today was never close as Benson raced […]
Sean’s Team Doesn’t Lose
October 11, 2008 by Leave a Comment
No, they didn’t win either. Technically, I guess they did lose as they had to forfeit only having 10 players for the game today. The weather has been pretty rough today – on and off rain – and several kids didn’t show up or did other things because they didn’t think we would play in […]
Another Lopsided Defeat
September 27, 2008 by 1 Comment
Today is Saturday, which meant another football game for Sean. Unfortunately, it also meant another lopsided defeat. Today, we played the kids from Benson and were soundly beat by a score of 47 – 6. I use the word kids loosely because we must be feeding our kids wrong in Sonoita and Huachucha City. These […]
