I thought we were going to get that first win

The Apopka Pirates were playing well this morning, we played a tough first half, but were still loosing 4-2 at the break. I made a few adjustments, I felt like we were just a small effort away from getting the W. But, even the best laid plans can be demolished and we ended up loosing 12-2.

The kids played well as a group, they all played hard. We were just missing the individual effort that we needed to score some goals.

It is a busy soccer week with a game today, practice on Tuesday, another game on Thursday and then the following Saturday.

Sarah is in South Carolina for the Week

Me and the kids dropped Sarah off at the airport this afternoon. She is off to Greenville, SC for the week for work. Just me and the kids all week, this should be interesting.

Food and Wine Festival



Epcot is running their annual Food and Wine Festival which is one of our favorite events. They setup all of these little booths all around the World Showcase and you can buy food items, wine, and beer from all over the world. We usually go 3 or 4 times while they run the event for a month and a half each year. This was a our 2nd trip this year.

It can get pretty raucous for Disney standards. There are always groups of people on pub crawls around the world. The usually get the custom shirts made up, that say stuff like "We aren't leaving until we're heaving", stuff like that. Then, there is this other weird element where they dress up in themes. This last trip there was a group that were all dressed like 80's tennis players. Big socks, short shorts, headbands, kind of crazy. If the groups are not into theme dressing, then they go for the crazy hat approach and try to buy the craziest hat that they can find in Disney.

Score: 14-3

We were the 3.

The Apopka Pirates will be launching a private investigation into the use of Performance Enhancing drugs by the opposing team. Also, birth certificates will be examined for authenticity.

The Pirates played well, but this other team was ridiculous. There was 3 kids on their team that each one of them on their own were probably the best kids in all the league. This one kid in particular was like the Tiger Woods of 5 year old soccer, he could score from anywhere on the field, I am pretty positive that he could play with 10 year olds and be competitive.

Good article on Mr. Obama's Proposed Tax Cuts

Wall Street Journal just put up this excellent article on Senator Obama's socialist regime that he is pushing through as tax cuts for "middle-class" families. All it is, is redistribution of wealth packaged in a way that makes it sound good.

Don't be fooled by the wolf in sheep's clothing my friends. Typical left wing rhetoric that could very well do more harm than good.
