Good weekend, for sure. The Missus and I got free Pens tickets for Friday night, and what I thought would be a ho-hum pre-season game was a chippy, intense, fast paced game that included three fights (so you know my Missus was stoked). Plus, these were the best seats I’ve ever had at the Igloo…11 [...]

Useless.
In general I’m pretty useless without my Missus around. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m an adult. I can take care of myself in a general way. I’m a pretty good cook, I know how to keep clean, I remember to feed the cats. I cover all other major bases, but there is something off about [...]

The Working Life…
Work is going full steam ahead. For the next 5 weeks, I basically have two full time jobs. this means I’m in for a WHOLE LOT of commuting, one day that starts at 11am and ends at 10 pm and another that starts at 8:30am and ends at 10pm. My mantra is “five weeks.” Really [...]

The Running…
I’ve been very busy over the last few days. Time off between work details has been full of all kinds of chores, errands and visits from friends. All of these things have been wonderful. One thing I have had time to do is run, oddly enough. I was commenting to my Missus last night that [...]

Euro 2008 and a Weekend Away…
The Spanish have done it. A championship after 44 years. Does one tournament win shake off the “chronic underachiever” badge they’ve worn for so long? Who knows. Watching Torres play is nice, though. And, of course, the Germans didn’t come through. It looked like they just slowly disintegrated over the course of the tournament. In [...]

Footy: Euro 2008
I’ve been quiet about the Euro 2008 tournament going on.

It’s finally down to the knockout stages. I’ve had the opportunity to see many of the matches and I’m happy to say that my two favorites are still in the mix. At the outset (and with England failing to qualify) I threw my support behind Germany. [...]

Living like kings…
Tonight I played some footy with my team. It was a solid practice, if not a bit short. We got to play outside, and in a light rain. In short, it was everything I wanted playing on this team to be. Brilliant.
It’s the small things…the seemingly insignificant things that truly make life worth living. Tonight, this [...]

“We Spend All Day…”
What a Sunday. Being the last day of the EPL season I spent the whole day (7:45am – 3:45pm) in my local pub watching footy and generally having a wonderful time. I caught up on some newspaper reading and had a generally fantastic time. The cinder in the stew, if there was one, was that the [...]

The Quiet…Part Two
Back in February, the dead of winter in the Steel City, I happened upon a post from the Piper’s Pub website talking about organizing an Over 30s team. I love to watch soccer (from now on in this blog called football), and I used to have a great time playing in pick up matches with [...]

Shakeup at Upton Park
BBC is reporting that the Eggman is out.
“Eggert Magnusson leaves his role as West Ham chairman and sells his stake in the club.” Interesting. The Icelandic biscuit magnate is no longer the money at the famed East London club that has my heart. I hope this isn’t a sign of bad things to come. I [...]
