Inter Milan vs Club America

Some international club teams are in the US this week playing a series of exhibition games called the World Football Challenge. My graduation present last may from Brigitta was tickets to the Inter Milan vs Club America game at Stanford stadium. We had awesome seats in the ninth row at center field. The match ended in a draw, and Club America prevailed after penalties.

AC Milan and Chelsea are also here in the states somewhere and all four teams will eventually play each other at different venues across the country, so check the website for details.

All American

I had an All American Weekend this 4th of July. Since the US Soccer team blew their lead and lost to Brazil last week, someone had to get this country back on track. We went the Fillmore Jazz Festival in San Francisco, grilled out our own burgers and bbq chicken, and I installed two new toilets in our house. We ended the night of the 4th watching JCVD (not American) and listening to the fireworks at Shoreline Amphitheatre.

The Jazz festival turned into more of a food festival for me, as I'm a sucker for street fair/carnival food. I had a pulled pork sandwich, garlic fries, and some of Brigitta's teriyaki kebab. The only thing I forgot to get was a funnel cake. Here are a few pics...

As for the plumbing work. I won't go into too many details. Let's just say part of the process is sticking a rag into the sewer line so that the raw sewage gases don't escape into the house. I went with the American Standard Cadet 3 if anyone is interested. The enclosed instructions plus a few 'how-to' YouTube videos got me through it rather easily. In the end, both were succesful.

Go Team.
