Qualified
Friday, November 18th, 2005
Switzerland did lose 4-2 against Turkey but still qualified for the final phase of the 2006 World Cup in Germany because of goals scored away. Well done, Nati. My other predictions missed the mark too. After the game the teams DID express their affection for each other. One of the Swiss players was hospitalized with a ruptured urinary tract (guess how that happened…) while 3 others were slightly injured.
There were a thousand cars in the middle of Lausanne at 10:30 pm. Fans waving flags and honking horns. And honking horns. And honking horns… I was on my bike, slowly ascending the hills (Lausanne is on a BIG hill), passing cars, receiving greetings from those fans sticking out the windows of their vehicles. Even the drivers were hanging out of their cars or driving with their heads through the moon-roof. It was exciting. Specially for a guy on a bike.
Today Stephanie and the notary signed the papers for the sale of the house. A young couple with 3 kids under three, moving from a 2 bedroom apartment to a 6 bedroom house. They were in shock, but very happy. I think Father-in-law would have like them. And we find ourselves with the first weekend to only clean up one yard. Already feels strange. But no complaining.
Anyone out there use Skype? What do you think?
