The Rugby

I love the rugby.

Wales v. Italy came to a draw -- such an outstandingly close game after the first 20 minutes! Could have gone to the game, but wasn't really ready to spring 45 GBP for the ticket.

Made some tea and made it back downstairs in time for the Irish National Anthem -- now Ireland v. Scotland has started! Can't get enough.

Tracie even commented last weekend how she has changed her opinion of American football after seeing her first rugby game :)

After only 2.20 minutes, Ireland is ahead 3-0.

(BTW, have been productive today... have finished paper due Monday and written one of dissertation props and emailed to brilliant prof for, ideally, commentary and suggestions. Just in case it is thought am wasting day.)

Items of interest in the news today:

Sad to learn Tom Fox has been confirmed murdered. (atrocious)

Drinking Bordeaux is good for your dental health. (good)
Badger cull is imminent. (not good)
Seizures are afflicting Chechen women. (alarming)
Sorry for the majority negative news.

13.15 minutes, Ireland 6, Scotland 3.
