Football

As of late, Alex has taken a great liking to football.

He drops everything to watch it when it is on TV. He is enjoying himself greatly when he plays it, and is very proud of himself when he is able to dribble the ball and get it past me.

That's right...the OTHER football. The sport everyone else calls football, but that we call soccer while raising a middle finger to everyone else.

As of late, Alex has just dropped everything when World Cup matches are on. So, I've watched much more soccer this time around than in the last few. And I've got to say, for the most part, these matches have not disappointed for drama and excitement, especially during the knockout round.

Even now, I'm typing this while watching Portugal and England in the second half - it's still 0-0 but it hasn't been boring.

If nothing else, it's good bonding time, both watching and playing it.

Dang, Jethro, we done spotted a moonbat!

PS watching the same game...it's been pretty good for a scoreless tie, but Beckham is a wuss for coming out. Gonna switch off to watch the Mets momentarily though.

Dang moonbat can't even get his timing right. Congressional majorities by January 06?
