Reflections on Los Gringos

Brian and Karin decided to delay their arrival into Chicago by a day. They weren't too keen on driving 16 hours Wednesday night. So, they got into town yesterday afternoon. We basically hung out, went to Olive Garden, watched some basketball/USA losing to Mexico. It's been good to have them here.

Today, Kathi and I are heading back to her parent's place for the weekend. We're going to go see my friend, Emily Fedorka, get married on Saturday.

And speaking of sports, all USA had to do was beat Mexico...MEXICO!!! For crying out loud, people. By losing, not only does the United States relinquish baseball respectability, but we have given our friends south of the border more reason to mock and ridicule us. Gringos indeed. And another thing. What was the deal with all the hype surrounding Syracuse? Oh, well.
