Day of the …

November 1, 2009

so many things.

Dead – we have been to a celebration for Dios de la Muerta. It was very festive. We added our bit to our friends altar, and checked out several others there. I wanted to make a sugar skull, but the kids in line looked like they wanted it more.

Soccer game – we played. I forgot to tape my foot/ankle before hand, and it was OK. But I think it would hurt a bit less if it had been taped. We are a team of walking wounded. One of our most skilled young guys has a stress fracture and played goalie. Our other stressed player, who played goalie last game, played on the field for a few minutes here and there – moving gingerly. I have my rather disguised injury (the guys just run by me and don’t notice the change in speed), and our knee braced player blew a shoe. We picked up a few brazilian players from the game before, and one of them twisted a knee in the game. It was helped by the opposing team taking him down, but I am wondering if we are contagious. We won, I think, 3-2.

Baseball game – yet to be. Getting ready to head over to friends house for dinner and viewing on their big screen (with TiVo – choose your own replays).

Time change – we got up relatively early, and have changed all the interior clocks, and one of the car clocks. The biggest issue has been figuring out when to eat.

Arrival back in Knoxville – for those following the travels of Rey – he is back in town and looking for lodging.
