Yikes, it looks like one of the players I taught English to in Oct.-Nov. has been banned for using steroids. I just read the article on Yahoo! Sports. Click here to see it. [EDIT FEB 12 2010: Article no longer available.]
My first workshop turned out ok, so I’m pretty free until next Thursday, when I’ve been scheduled to go to the Agricultural Institute up in Santiago to talk to one of the officials there about instituting an English Language Program at their facility. If I can swing it, I might try to make reservations for several days afterward at one of the resorts a little further up on the coast. That would be a fun place to spend Christmas! It depends on whether I can get a reservation and on the price. Rex Moser and Ana Maria, his secretary, told me that this time of year is the “low” season for tourists, and getting a reservation and a good price shouldn’t be a problem. Seems that everyone wants to stay home for the holidays.
The Univ. of Montana Griz football team lost in the semifinal game of the National Championship, 19-17 to some team from Massachusetts. Too bad. More later.

I finally got on your site, Ron. It’s great. I watched the Griz game the other night and it looked pretty cold. We had about a weeks worth of cold here awhile back, dipping into the 20′s, along with a little sleet/snow mixed. It was great. Hope all is well with you.
