Christmas

I have not blogged in a while, but with the snow blizzard that we just got in Boston, I have found some time to write about a couple of things.

The first one is how impressed I am with how good the Portuguese League has been so far this season.

A lot of teams are playing well, and a number of players are puttting up some worthy performances.

It is no wonder that so many European clubs are looking to Portugal for their Christmas shopping lists. Even the lower division teams have plenty of scouts at their games. Genoa was on hand at a few Belenenses games, presumably they were looking at Pele, the defensive midfielder.

Louletano, the third division club have plenty of interest in Joao Reis, the "new Figo". Benfica, Inter Milan, Arsenal and Chelsea have all inquired about him.

The second one has to do with the Bowl Season for college football. As much as I love watching the bowl games, this reminds me that the college football season is almost over.

Finally, a word about Christmas, it was a good one this year.

Plenty of good times with the family, nice little bonus from work, what else can you ask for?

Maybe a move to sunny California, or Florida..........
