And now the hard part...

"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror."
George W. Bush, CBS News, Washington DC, 6 September, 2006


  • Oh, the Giant game was bitter. Bo, Louise, Jess, Sarah and I all watched it at Dubliners. It was a rough way to go out. But this game scared me from the beginning. The Eagles are peaking at the right time.
  • Arizona is hosting the NFC Title Game? Has the world gone mad?
  • Work starts in earnest tomorrow with a whole slate of classes. Hooray!
  • Well, my battle with the flu over the holidays ended with scarily bright colored snot, which means a nasal infection. I'm good for at least one a year. The fourth pharmacy i tried gave me amoxicilina, so i hope to make a speedy recovery. At least i didn't have to pay to see a doctor. You can get anything you want in Madrid if you just keep trying.
  • The Atletico game was no better than the Giants. At least it started at 17:00 so it wasn't too cold. Atletico lost 3-2 to Athletic Bilbao, the third goal coming on a very soft goal allowed by Leo Franco. The game had to be stopped several times because the Atletico South endzone ( i sit in the north end where there were no such incidents) was pelting the rival keeper with snow balls. People are idiots in Spain just like in the USA. It was snow that hadn't melted from Friday.
  • I made veal tonight. Not bad, but it needs work. Maybe breading and spices next time.
  • Sleepy time.
