The impact Fernando Torres made off the bench this weekend was obvious. The show in The FanZone was great and the fried chicken my wife made was “para chuparse los dedos.” This is part of the Good Stuff Network!!!
It is mid November and the temperatures are finally decreasing. Northeast Georgia gets cold this time of the year from what I can remember. This area of the country gets some beautiful colors during fall- the leaves have been exceptionally bright this year. My wife even though a northern born woman is not too fond of this cold weather. I on the other hand enjoy the cold weather. The brisk cold mornings remind me of walking to school in Quito.
The first fire in our wood stove welcomes this November cold and the falling of most of the colorful leaves into heaps that my daughter and German shepherd can play in. The line of Rose of Sharon has been pruned, the pansies to be planted, more firewood to be cut and split. All these things are part of a long list of to-dos. Of course, the decorations in the attic catch my curiosity as I would like to put them up as soon as I begin the Christmas music in the house. Bing Crosby and Johnny Mathis are already guests in this house…
By the way- I have seen Rudolph the red nosed reindeer with my daughter already- a yearly tradition to be shared with her.
You’ve got to enjoy these guys. Whatever will be will be.
The way Liverpool are playing lately reminds me of Barcelona SC of the 1980’s when they could be loosing and the calmness of the manager, team and fans created a spine tingling feeling on its opponents- they would win with confidence. During the game with Man U and Man City I felt nervous but I can actually feel confident of our weapons- even when Fernando leaves a big gap.
Wigan versus Liverpool was a great game today. Too bad for Antonio Valencia seeing red again in less than a week. Watch these great goals by Zaki, Kuyt and Riera.
This is week 2 1/2 of my latest upgrade to a hydrogen hybrid. With the help of my father-in-law we have converted my Honda CRV to a Hydrogen hybrid. This has given me great results without having to purchase a small and uncomfortable hybrid car. A big factor in my decision- Gas prices, emissions and also I have a long commute and accumulate many miles a month. The beginning miles per gallon were 22 and now I am getting 28. Based on the studies and other users the MPG’s will increase and also the emissions will decrease enormously. Below is the place that does this magic- The Hybrid Conversion Place.
I just thought this picture was appropriate after this last week.
I can see Croatia’s charismatic national team manager Slaven Bilic smiling with glee as he reads the headlines after tonight’s games for the Champions league. 
Steven Gerrard will be out for 15 days after groin surgery. The following is from The Times Online,
Steven Gerrard has been one of the better players for the three lions even during the odd strategic decision in this past game against the Czechs. Fabio Capello is probably sighing and wishing it was David Beckham with the issue as this would solve the public relations headaches that have been brought upon themselves by appointing a now single style midfielder. I can agree with Bobby Robson when he says,
So for now Slaven smiles while Fabio sighs.
Fishing is one of the activities dear to my heart. I don’t do it as often as I wish, but I really enjoy the balance that I find in fishing. My short attention span goes out the window especially on those all night crappie expeditions with my father-in-law. You have to be alert for the slight tug on the line or you won’t reel in the slabs, You also have to stay awake or your son -in-law ends up manning the bending pole pulled by a hungry fish.
I found this article on the World Fishing Network WFN about fishing in Poland. It looks beautiful. The last time I went fly fishing was two years ago. My fly pole needs repair- know any one?
