Champs & Harry Potter...

We are the champions! Wooohooo! We won our basketball tournament this past Monday, this is the first time the team has won a championship over its 7 - 8 existence, I’ve played for the past year with the team… coincidence? Probably, but we all did a lap around the court to celebrate… no cutting of the nets here!!! We should be going out this weekend to celebrate properly… yeah!

This past week I was in Honduras for work, which went really well, as we got a lot of things done (plus I bumped into two of my former coworkers from La Licorera, including my former boss!). Still, there are things to finalize, which I’m hoping we can do over e-mail, if not, I might have to go back in the next couple of weeks. I came back from Honduras on Friday morning, did some light work, and went down to Antigua at night. I met Jud and Ritchie at Monoloco for some drinks, Bob showed up a bit later, and after some drama with someone I know (thank u Jud for the support, and Bob for being so patient), called it a night.

Ritchie, Carlos, and Bob on a Friday night...

Two Minnesotans: Bobtron and Britt...

Carlos and Britt chilling at Monoloco... damn I look good in a baseball cap!

Early Saturday morning I came back down to Antigua, as Bob’s girls (he teaches gymnastics down here on a part time basis) had a gym meet and had invited me to come see ‘em. After having some sweet lunch, came back to the city, took a little nap, had dinner, and went out to Margit’s going away party at her house. Before getting to Margit’s house, I had to stop by and pick up Lucky at her brother’s house, were we had about four drinks before heading out to Margit’s house. The going away party was a blast, as it involved: beer, rum, peach schnapps, pizza, and puking (not by me)… hehe…. too much fun!

Sports wise, happy to report that the Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett from Minnesota for 7 players… and the Bosox acquired Greg Gagne to bolster their already kick ass bullpen. Plus, I can’t wait till next weekend when the English Premier League starts… go Arsenal! I think they’ll do well even though Henry left for FC Barcelona…

Saludos a todos y abrazos,
CRCP

P.S. - Good luck in Sweden MARGIT… a echarle huevos y quedo a la espera de su blog!
P.S. II - Bob finally moved to the city… hope he adapts well to his new surroundings.
P.S. III - Another Late Show Top Ten…
