He doesn't even LIKE american football, yet he still watched the superbowl and kept calling me in the room to watch parts. LIKE I CARE! And they don't show the american commericals here, which is the only redeeming part! <BR/><BR/>And if an Argentine national team is playing ANYTHING, including bowling, he feels the need to cancel work and bishopric to watch.<BR/><BR/>It's familial, his dad reads scriptures all day except when some sporting event is being broadcast.Adriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224896387524762548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534899535780442639.post-58565864705021316532008-02-06T14:17:00.000-08:002008-02-06T14:17:00.000-08:00I got your name from Shally regarding Blogapalooza...I got your name from Shally regarding Blogapalooza, can you email me info at melaniekirkland at gmail.com?
