A House Full of Heathens

I just overheard Sam tell his mother that we did not go to church this morning for Easter but rather we went to the pub to watch our Arsenal play Chelsea.

Heathens

Our beloved Arsenal lost to Chelsea this morning. It was a painful, ugly defeat. Maybe we lost because we didn't go to church this morning.

We went to Costco after we left the pub this morning to buy a few things. The parking lot was a ghost town. Oh yeah, it was Easter Sunday.

Then we went to the local market to get ingredients for dinner and a few staples. Again a ghost town except for a few cars circling the parking lot. Other heathens.

Cool Pepsi Ad with Soccer Superstars

Current soccer greats Beckham, Fabregas, Henry, Ronaldinho and Lampard are in this ad. There's another footballer in the ad but I'm not sure of his name. I love Fabregas blowing a kiss to Henry.

The mix of colors around these rocks appealed to me when I was on top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park and I liked the tufts of grass and red wildflowers struggling to survive on the rocks.

I love being able to blog from flickr. My sister and I spent two weeks in Ireland and England in May 2001 and this is one of the photos from my day in Bath Spa. My digital camera at the time was a Kodak DC210 which was a gift from Sam. It took pretty good photos for a one megapixel camera.
