U20 World Cup update
Wow, I’m taking the day off in celebration of receiving my first ever blog comment from a “stranger.” And Footie Fool has been added to my Feed list too.

I just found out about wordpress’ mobile blogging feature. This post is being written from Wascana Park via my Blackberry. There have been several times when I’m at the pool, etc. with an hour to kill and I can use that time to write now.
