THERE CAN ONLY BE OOOOOOOONNNNEEEEEEE (part 1)

SO.... since we last talked, coach had benched me for a blogger that was much more reliable (ie: Merrie).

BUT I'M THE STAR! I'VE GOT THE PIZAZZ!!!!?!!!

So I'm blogging today. I've got a 94mph fastball and a decent splitter. Hopefully not many readers are southpaws, which will give me trouble.My ERA's only 2.47 for the season... sooooooooooooo

My random baseball rant has made me check espn and realize how much I miss web gems. Plus the Blue Jays are already below .500. All of the AL East seems to be sucking anyway... THIS COULD BE THE YEAR


Since we last left off, I believe we were still in Portugal? Overall this was a more than incredible experience. We stayed in one of the only 5 star resorts on the island and did absolutely nothing for an entire week. This is half in part to our actual exhaustion and half from the price of a double cheese burger being about $3.50. (You can guess how much anything else costs from that one statistic). We had a steady diet of pasta and honey liquor since 1. we were afraid of the seafood 2. we didn't have an oven 3. the refrigerator was about as successful as a cabinet at keeping things cold. There was also a mishap with ketchup and cheese flavored Cheetos®. Things happen when you can't read Portuguese.

Oh yeah, who only brought dirty close assuming there would be laundry in the room and there wasn't? Not us of course... >_>  

Recap of some cool things that happened:

1. Portuguese park kittens. Foreign cat's are extra cute because you get to imagine them with accents.

2. French ships either don't have guns or have laser technology. Honestly I would assume it's some kind of communications ship helping coordinate UN forces in Libya? Cool except for the French part.

3. Madeira did not, I repeat, did not get ugly while we were there. It also had a lot of flowers.

4. Why do they get cooler cereals?! They are paying a premium for it. I know where you live Nestle. Watch out.

5. Big chess is more fun. It just is.

We made it to the airport without any difficulty and got back on our plane to the mecca of air travel: Stansted. Honestly, if anyone is considering budget airlines, don't do it. You're treated like cattle and there are a lot of alpha types that think they deserve to be in front of you. I don't want to have to give someone the people's elbow for a window seat.
