Well, Good thing I didn't tell anyone about this experiment. We have had so many troubles with our new host (Dreamhost) over the past few months, I didn't really want to spend too much time with this. In the meantime Atoms soccer club, Manhattan Kickers FC, went to see the USA versus Argentina Match at Giants stadium this past sunday. What a blast.

Through Argentina's less then stellar play, Tim Howards wall of steel, and USA's best recent performance (the return of Donovan?) we managed to pull off a 0-0 tie against the top ranked national team. Each team receiving a red card in the 2nd half (US first!) combined with a high energy nail biter finish and topped of with an instant downpour including thunder and lightning, all made for a game that was much more memorable than 0-0 tie would leave you to believe.

Here are some snapshots from the game. I'm sorry about the quality, but I was too focused on the game to worry about the focus of the camera. Sue me!

Atom and I made two trips to mountain creek this past week. It has been 2 or 3 years since we went last time, and it was a much need little break. On the first day we took his friend Zen and my buddy Bill with us, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of that trip. On the second day, Cal and Zachary from school (and the Kickers) came with us to try snowboarding for the first time. Both days I enrolled the kids in an all-day camp so I managed to get a quite a few runs in. Bill and I had a good time roaming the mountain (hill?) looking for some runs that weren't too icy. Here are the Pictures. And a movie.
