"how i met your mother"

So, it's been a couple of days since my last post because I just finished the first season of "How I met your Mother". It might be one of my all-time favorites. Romantic-Comedy, actually I feel more comedy than romance but that's besides the fact, it is about a guy who is telling his children about the story of how he met their mother. It takes place in New York and is centered around a group of friends who help Ted (Josh Radnor) find the one. Marshall his roommate/best friend (Jason Segel) who just got engaged to his girlfriend Lily (Alyson Hannigan) of 9 years, sparked his desire to find the one. Helping him in his quest to find her is his friend/womanizer Barney (NPH). Barney is the King of pick-up lines and knows how to woooooooo girls. A lot of the first season is Ted chasing after Robin (Cobie Smulders) a hot Canadian Broadcaster who becomes part of the group, Barney guiding him on a few crazy side adventures (one of my favorites being the licking of the liberty bell or the episode where he told Ted he hired an escort for him to make Robin jealous but really she was a paralegal who lived in the same building as him), Marshall and Lily preparing for the wedding and giving Ted advice and Ted just flat out convinced that Robin is the one for him. Anyway, I highly suggest that you start watching this show, it's addicting, it will make you laugh, it's fun and it's almost Valentines Day and everyone needs a little love in there life and why not throw a little laughter, a combination of both usually brings a lot of happiness. I'm about to start season 2 tonight.

I hope all is well. We have a game this Sunday at home. It is our last game before we have a 3 week break and end our season with 3 games left. The final stretch of the season, it feels weird it's gone by so fast. I would be lying to you if I didn't say I am excited to come home. My routinely repeated day is starting to ware on me and it will be nice to have a change. During this break I will have a few visitors; Mitchell Henke, who is visiting from Luxembourg and Matty Perrone will be visiting from Spain. Both are planning on coming the weekend of Feb. 21, which is perfect timing because there is a large festival called Carnivale that takes place in Bellinzona, a town 20min from here. My teammates have been ranting and raving about it since I got here in September. Until next time. LOVE

"Enjoy the Journey"
