Grizzly Adams DID have a beard

I went to one of the Buenos Aires public parks a few days ago to try to get into a pick up soccer game.

Having been a relatively proficient soccer player through high school and most of college, I figured I could hang with the rough and tumble Argentine futbol crowd.. At least playing wise. Fighting wise, I was not so sure. Within the first 10 minutes some guy on my team had already punched the face of a guy on the other team. Possibly because the punchee had a more robust mullet working for him than the puncher. Regardless, the game was quite chippy and I was the only player with blond hair and shiny New Balances on his feet.

Also, a little thinking out loud: I think I need to take the posts down a notch. I have received several "does your mom read your blog??" type emails, and it would be ill-advised to lose my core audience of three. (Hi Mom, Granny and Grandpa). We'll see how this plays out.

In other news, I have left the friendly confines of my friends' apartment in Buenos Aires and flew up to the Iguazu Falls, one of the world's largest waterfalls. (Or as Denver Dave describes it, a counterclockwise rotating toilet bowl with above average force and neat mossy thingys). On the topic of Denver Dave, he has been staying at Jynx, Katie and Josh's apartment the entire time I have been there because he is homeless right now.

Also, I beat D. Dave and Josh in a contest among the girls of who they would rather be stuck in the woods with in a life or death situation. Josh came in last, but doesn't even know the contest took place. Dave would have preferred to come in last place, as he despises the element of silver. Regardless, I am currently wearing my Davey Crockett cap.
