Sat morning

Got up early to watch England and Paraguay play today, the game started at 9 am. England won, but it wasn't a very good game. The ABC commentary is pretty weak, they need to get somebody more professional, savvy and exciting, like ESPN's Tommy Smyth.

I had a message from Karsten yesterday, so I called back. He was still in bed (West Coast time) but I talked to Yvonne, and we talked for a while. They are doing great.

Time to get some lunch.

Lunch

Forgot to say, today went for lunch to The Hog Pit on 13th and 9 Ave, across from Vento, with everybody from work. Pretty "low end" place, I think it's been there forever, before the area turned "cool." The food is just OK, nothing too great. They was a photoshoot right outside and a whole crew, including models Smile . It was for some fashion magazine, somebody asked but I forget.
