Salsa

This is post #666.... so I guess I should make it EVIL or something. We'll see what I come up with.

It's outrageously hot still. 95 something on Saturday with a LOT of humidity. Heat index hit 107 that day. Sarah and I walked around for a couple of hours and about died. Funny thing is that after the sun goes down, it's absolutely beautiful! So we're altering our schedules to go out after dark more. Yeah, kind of like vampires. That's the norm though here in Taiwan. Hopefully the 90+ degree days are still limited.

We had a great Saturday evening doing some Salsa dancing. A large group of us went early for the "free" lesson. The lessons went pretty quickly, but was enough to realize it's just like doing the polka:) Right-left-right, left-right-left..... repeat. Kind of like doing the Bunny Hop dance as well. We had a great time though, amazing to watch everyone Salsa dance here - they're actually really good! It was warm and a late night, but we're looking into some more opportunities to salsa sa'more.

I'm back on the winning track with Fantasy Football (I'm 2-1). Plus with my Slingbox, I was able to catch up on some football highlights, as well as watch most of the Packer's loss to the Cowboys. Vikings pull one out under Gus Frerotte (coming from behind in a much needed way). Good bye to Jackson and hopefully the losing part of the Vikings season. I also got to see some highlights from the US victory over Europe in Ryder Cup - pretty impressive considering that Tiger is out and he pretty much is the greatest player in the Universe. Now for some baseball watching as the playoffs start very soon. Yankees will not make the playoffs (a win for everyone except for the networks) and no more Yankee Stadium, the Mets are fading (a win for Braves fans), and the Twins are pissing away yet another opportunity to make the post season. Oh yeah, the NHL pre-season just started! Good time of year for sports fans!!!!

Have a great Monday. Enjoy the political advertising that looks to only be getting worse by the day for those of you in "swing" states!
