It's a sad day for all of Wisconsin (and apparently the world). Yesterday Justin got a phone call from his best friend, breaking the news of the Packer's quarterback's retiring. There is a team from Elmbrook church at the Kasali's house right now working with UCBC, and a cloud fell over many of them. It was actually depressing that here in Africa, news like that, about sports, can cause depression. Isn't it enough to depress the majority of the US at a time? (Only one team's fans can ever be truly happy. Those people that talk about "building years" and "it was a good season" are only trying to appease their souls).
I also thought it was interesting a couple hours later when, on CNN's global broadcast, they mentioned Brett's retiring and talked about it for a good 2 minutes at least. In this land of football (soccer) I wonder what think when they see these crazy guys who wear helmets and huge pads and claim to play "football". Either way, Brett will be missed, and his retirement made international news. Congrats to an outstanding career.

Joshua,
You've been talking about writing a blog for about a week now and instead of writing about what you've been doing you write about Brett Farve? Honestly!!

Mindy, I sure did meet Heather and Eric. I left before I got your message, but I'll let them know. I was in Beni for two weeks and they arrived the second week I was there.
Megan, What could "Honestly" be more important or interesting than Brett Farve?
