Before going to bed... Some fun...


The Onion continues to do their funny work. This video with the "MacBook Wheel" is quite funny

Good night!

Done for the day

I'm heading to Davis square. Today was a productive day. But I think I  might still do a bit of work when I get to my room. But first, dinner!!

Kudos to Kalil!!

Just accessed the Stone Middle School site and saw that Kalil was featured there for having finished 2nd in the Math competition (http://stone.ms.brevard.k12.fl.us/html/index.html). Nice!! I see that the guy that got 1st place is twice the size of Kalil....  so he should have answered twice more questions! (lol)

Anyway, keep up the good work. Next time shoot higher and answer all 25!!

It stopped: finally!!

It stopped snowing. It was about time!! The forecast is for 2 days without any flock of snow. I hope they clear the sidewalks. It's hard to walk anywhere with this accumulation.

On a different note. Kalil, our Fortaleza won the first game of the year. 4x1. Very good result given the team is very young (avg. 22 years of age).

Fortaleza Esporte Clube

The state soccer tournament in Fortaleza just started. I'm happy because it is one thing that I can do from here... that is, I can follow my soccer team. Fortaleza is playing now and we are  winning 1x0. Earlier today the juniors under-18 and under-15 won't their matches in the national league. Bora Leão!!!!!!

(update: We won 4x1!!)

O Quatrilho


While eating my chicken gumbo soup with wheat bread I finished watching the movie called "O Quatrilho". Very good movie. I recommend. The soup was okay, not as good as yesterday's (Moroccan tomato with lentils).

And the snow keeps falling....

Lunch Time

I have to go eat something. This cold weather is making me hungry. 

I just called my father-in-law and spoke to Marcos André. Everything is fine. He explained somethings that Sarah had already told me but it is nice to call. In this way, my father-in-law get to know that I'm worried as well. I'm happy they are going to move to an apartment. In Fortaleza one cannot live in a house... it just to dangerous. 

Heading to NEU

The Apple store here is huge. Got my laptop sleeve. Now work.

Snow

Wow! It was hard to get here to Davis square station. At this time of  the day only a few people cleaned their sidewalks. In fact, as I walked I saw some of the homeowners doing this. Can you imagine having to do this during the whole Winter? I'm not even doing it and I  already miss Florida.

Off to the Apple store

We had quite a bit of snow last night. Now it's back to work but first
I have to swing by the Apple store to see if I can find a laptop
sleeve.
