Good Food

When was the last time you had really good food?
Was it at a restaurant? In a home? On vacation?
Does the company you keep influence how you feel about food?

Why I Love Football (Soccer) Commentators

As an American I'm used to hearing a lot of analysis (paralysis) from sports commentators from all major sports during the game. I believe a lot of words are wasted on minutiae such as non-game related drama, and stats ad-nauseum, that unless one is The Fan, one might tune out.

Football, particularly the World Cup, is a true global competition. Because of location and scheduling, one might hear games more often than watch them outside developed area. Because of this, the commentators most of the time are brief, descriptive, and wisk through the mundane.

Don't be confused by hearing something like, "Johnson to Beatty...Beatty to Sun...Sun...Sun...There's a chance...Sun to Patrick...Patrick...PATRICK!!!...He shoots......GOAL!...GOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
