Other happenings;

  • I made new friends and saw old friends move on.

  • We found out that La Profesora needs professional help.

  • More people learned English (hopefully).

  • Espana won the Euro Cup.

  • Atletico Madrid qualified for the Champions League.

  • Jose Luis Zapatero, PSOE (socialist) won the presidential election in Spain.

  • We learned that Casablanca sucks.

  • We learned not to fall asleep on the Metro. And that gypsies suck.

  • We learned that McCain sucks.

  • People in Madrid with dogs suck. They never pick up their dog turds. They just leave them in the middle of the sidewalk.

  • That the new Joe Satriani album rocks.

  • That the Internet shrinks the planet.

  • That if Boston wins one more sports championship i may have to climb the Hancock Building with a rifle.

  • Don't eat beans, gazpacho and figs the night before a transatlantic flight!

That's a wrap people! We're done for the season. Last one out, shut off those lights. See you in the States!


And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
