today

Today has been very nice so far. Miranda and I taught Patrick to play "Go Fish!". We've been playing that for quite a bit of the morning. I've got a few Urban Rivals games in (I'm addicted - the first step is admitting).

Getting ready to watch Marseille play Bordeaux. They are going to get it handed it them (Marseille will... Bordeaux are very good).

Tonight we are going over to the in-laws. Happy Birthday Jane. Birthdays haven't been a big thing in the Allen family but they are big in the Young family.

Miranda is making pizza. Unfortunately it the wheat crust diet pizza. Very similar to cardboard except that it tastes worse. But what can you say... it's Italian food.

Patrick and I have been battling it out. Here's our conversation:

• P: Uno, dos, tres (1,2,3 in Spanish)
• M: Quoi!?!? (what?) Parlez-vous le français! Ne parle pas le espagnol (Speak French! Don't speak Spanish!)
• P: Un, deux, trois (1,2,3 in French)
• M: Oui! D'accord! (Yes! Ok!)
• P: Uno, dos, tres

Repeat ad infinitum! He loves to tease me, and of course, I go overboard.

Speaking of French. I emailed the local French teacher and last semester they had 1 student in French and they had to cancel the class. She thought I was trying to fulfill the foreign language requirement for my degree and suggested I take Spanish. I have a few degrees already and I do not need another one right now.

Better go. The game is one.
