Beach and cocktail time - no forum time - can't blame him!
Sports. Guh! Give me a rousing board game any day.
Korea, Taiwan, Australia, pretty much all of Latin American and the Caribbean countries have professional leagues. A fairly large percentage of Major League players are Latin Americans.Quote:

Mexico City would be fine as far as time, but east coast vs west coast already has a penalty. It would be FAR worse if a team was in London.
I just got news that my wife's great-grandfather passed away this morning.
So at least he made it past the 24-48 hour mark! Il a ete un tete dure until the end.
Here's a zen story that is relevant:
A rich man went to an artist and asked for a wall hanging of good fortune (just calligraphy, really). What the artist gave him was this:
Grandfather dies.
Father dies.
Son dies.
The rich man was horrified. "How can you say that this is good fortune???" To which the artist replied: "This is the natural order of things for those who are fortunate. Is any other order better than this?"
The fact that your wife got to know her great-grandfather is amazing.
That was something that I tried explaining to my wife. She had the pleasure of not only knowing her great-grandfather, but also the pleasure of spending time with him A) while he was still in his right mind and B) she was old enough to appreciate that time. Not too many people get to experience that...
Personally, I'm worried about her great-grandmother. She is... eccentric? Maybe that's a bad word, but you get the gist.
She was actually calling people as late as last Friday telling them that her husband was coming home soon. They had to take her phone away from her.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Back at Christmas, I had a nice conversation with an aunt. I then got a puzzled and slightly frantic email from her daughter. As it turned out, we both had nice conversations....but apparently they weren't the same conversation. What I said and what she heard bore only a passing relationship with one another.
Sorry about your loss, Dday. My own great-grandmother lived to age 101 and played the piano every day right up to her last. She left us all with a lot of great memories.
Holy crap!
