Not exactly the boxing nuns, but...

After lugging my cleats around for 6 months, I finally got to take em out for a little frisbee. Granted, we played for about 30 minutes, it was 6 on 6 at most, with two players under the age of 13, and there were no stacks, marking or organized cheers... but it was great! Photobucket

Happy Taxi-Driver´s Day!

Recently I called my mom on Mother's Day, without realizing it was Mother's Day! When I explained, she said, "Oh yeah, do they even have Mother's Day there?" The answer: hell yes!(but on a different date). In fact, I would guess that Argentina probably has the most "______ Day"s of any country. In the world. Ever. For example, here's May:
2: Actor's Day
7: Godchild's Day
11: Taxi-driver's Day
11: Nurse's Day
12: Grandchild's Day
12: (my personal favorite) Phonoaudiologist's day (if you are a phonoaudiologist with living grandparents, you should rake in the gifts on this day)
28: Kindergarten teacher's Day

Wizard Quote of the Day

My 8 year old student Luciano: "Teacher, how long will it be before we know all the words in English? A year?"
