    Greetings from 'The Villa' in sunny suburban LA.

    Flew in Skybus from CMH and have to give them kudos on their performance per business model. More later.

    Into Bob Hope Airport which brings back memories of 50 years ago! Again, more later....

    Murphy's Law:
    Brought in TWO laptops and nearly caused a major TSA incident when the bag fell off the rent-a- trolley and sat unattended in the middle of the check in area....
    - Somehow LOST my wireless card and cant get DNS connection on Pat's either. Have to sit on window seat pad behind TV, connected by cord umbilical to router.

    Meantime getting pumped for Crew/Gals tonight.... only downside is Pat's knee is hinky from all the travel, tho we got first-class handling with wheelchair, etc at Skybus.. and all us geezers know how cranky wimmin are when they're gimpy.

    Later

    update.. just so's you dont think i'm still looking like a geek sitting on the floor behind a TV, kevin employed the magic admin fingers.. you know, when the guy does the exact same thing you've done ten times and it works for him.
    So now I'm sitting out working by the pool.

    ROAD TRIP!!!!

    Read your last sentence to HatterMom leaving off the gender-specific noun and she agreed wholeheartedly.

    Looking forward to the match report and all the rest. Get some Galaxies!

    Still has not lost the tag, "Smell-A", but on a clear day, I do remember it being pretty nice.

    Enjoy!!

    Well done to the residence of LA attempting to become environtment friendly. When is Beckham's first MLS or friendly match going to take place? Someone mentioned something about a friendly with Chelsea. I am not sure, could be completely off base.

    Everything you need to know... and a bonus, if you hate Galaxy, because their fans are all whining and moaning at the moment.. can befound here.
