Things you should know about my life in Costa Rica

I now get up between 6:00 and 6:15 a.m. each day. (Except the weekends—what, do you think I’m crazy?)

I spend a minimum of one hour each day using public transportation. (Yesterday, I took five different buses and three cabs.)

I use the word “ciao” on a regular basis.

Instead of working out, I’m working on a belly.

I spent almost $200 the other day at the mall, and I’m going back this weekend.

I’ve watched nearly every movie TNT has put on, including “Like Mike,” “Mona Lisa Smile, and “Erin Brokovich” (gotta practice those listening skills). The other day, I lucked out with “Starship Troopers.”

I still don’t like soccer.

My favorite Spanish music? Reggae

My stomach still hates me.

Pineapple is now my fruit of choice (and not Travis. Ba-dum-bum.).

I’ve killed, oh, I don’t know, 10 billion ants since I’ve been here, and a fair amount of fruit flies.

I now send almost as many emails in Spanish as I do in English.

I now dislike David Eckstein even more than when I left, which I didn’t think was possible.

We lose our internet connection, on average, for two or three hours each day.

(And that’s my excuse for going so long between posts.)

Higgity,

You've replaced me with Pineapple!?! You bastard! That was a good one though, how long did it take you to think of it? Well your last post was 10/23, so I'm guessing you've been working on that since then?

Keep holding strong on the soccer deal. It still sucks here too.

Are you working 5 days a week still? That sucks your commute is so bad, but just remember, that communte is in COSTA RICA, not here so you can't complain too much. When you start thinking 'this sucks' just think how much it would suck in the US.

Hey, I'm not going to make the draft tonight b/c it's Holly's birthday and we have plans. I've got a friend filling in for me though and I gave him the green light on trash talk so it should be fine.

Talk to you soon!

FF,

You and the wife have fun tonight. Don't make any babies or anything. And don't worry, it wouldn't have made any difference if you'd shown up for the draft. I'm going to dominate no matter what.
