Back in Touch

Our Vonage phone is working again! I know nothing about computers, but after resetting the modem for the zillionth time, it was back.
No idea.

And yes, there was mild depression in Lima today (outside of the normal cold fog-induced variety). My friends definitely did NOT want to talk about the game. It was a national embarassment (see last post). Peruvian football directors and coaches are resigning left and right, and players are speaking of "a cross we will carry for the rest of our lives". So I will mourn with my brothers here. It does seem a bit unfair that the USA team almost gets a free pass to the World Cup since the only truly competitive team in the region is Mexico; they are hardly recognized, relative to other sports, and largely unsuccessful upon arrival, while an entire nation of Peruvians waits breathlessly on every play, only to be devastated yet again, hopelessly overmatched by the many top-class teams on this continent. The last time they were in a World Cup was 1982.

Lastly, a couple of websites to make you go hmm.....
