The mob has spoken

I'll keep it. But, don't hold your breath. I'll still be a bad blogger. I'm not giving that up. What I will try to do is try to post more about life in Portugal because it's interesting and worth keeping people updated.

So, late-breaking news.....On Sunday night I went to a Sporting game. We live about 10 minutes (walking) from the stadium so when a colleague called and said she couldn't use the tickets she had bought, I jumped at the opportunity. Our seats were on the second row so needless to say we saw the action close up. Sporting won 1-0, in fact, they eked out the win when Liedson headed a ball with authority into the back of the net in the late minutes of the game.

Seriously, living here is just an incredible blessing. I grew up as a kid watching futebol and playing it every waking moment. To be able to live in Europe and go see professional games is just an incredible experience. Plus, it gives me plenty of opportunities to talk with people as futebol is pretty much more important than who's getting elected this year. I've never had anyone turn down a conversation if I start with a question or comment about the local teams.

Okay, so there you have it. I've finished my quota for this week. :) Ate ja!
