Li'l Blue Eyes' team played their first game this morning. The Pioneer Dynamite fell to the Recreation Leopards 0-3. Some may view this as an inauspicious start, but the Dynamite do show promise. At least that's what some of the other dads and I say.
After this morning's 3:30 am thunderstorm I figured today would be awful. I mean, the rain was coming in the window sideways, as if someone had a hose pointed directly at the house. As I type this, it's 80 degrees and beautiful outside. Time to get bikes out.
Oh, and I picked up Manu Chao's Proxima Estación: Esperanza, since I keep hearing more and more about this guy. I haven't formulated an opinion on it yet-- it's definitely different, with all sorts of world-music influences, and it certainly keeps your attention. It reminds me (sort of) of bits of Kirsty MacColl's Tropical Brainstorm, although Kirsty's album is a lot more melodic and poppy. I'll let you know after the second and third listen.
