Not as Bad as I Feared

I know that the USA rugby team is outmatched by the Irish and NZ teams, even when they are sending their "A" sides (what Americans would probably call the "B" team, since they are secondary squads). Still, I feared that we'd be blown out by Ireland. Instead, the Eagles did better than I thought they would, and even led for a few minutes when they got the first score three minutes into the match with a penalty goal. Still, Ireland are a better team, and they won, 28-13.

( My day in the sun )

It was very warm and sunny today, with no cloud at all. I was slathered in sunscreen. I hope it worked. Cheryl, who was also watching the other pool match being played in the rain in Toronto, said that today's game was a great advertisement for California tourism.

I'm looking forward to the next two matches.

Back on the Leash

My wireless access point has stopped connecting to my computer. It still acts as a router -- I went and plugged the laptop in, and that' is why I'm able to post this entry. The wireless software in my computer sometimes says it can see the WAP, and sometimes not, even when they are within a meter of each other, and even when it can see it, it can't connect to it. Rats!
