Cate is in Utrecht – not Amsterdam. When she is
away I do not do elaborate things for dinner. Tonite I am having hot dogs.
I
love American hot dogs. They just do not do them properly in Australia. In
Australia they are not treated with any importance – here they are part of the
fabric of society.
The Baseball season is starting and I am planning
on going to some of the games that are held in the afternoon at Victory field
to cheer the Indians on - and eat hot
dogs.
The Washington Redskins football team is under a
lot of pressure to change its name to something more culturally sensitive. I
think the Indianapolis Indians are probably OK.
Cate once went to a baseball game at Victory park.
She is unlikely to go again any time soon. She is not a sports person. When she
sees me watching sport she asks why am I watching that rubbish.
I did not ask questions like that when she watched
every episode of every season of Desperate Housewives.
Unlike football – baseball is easy to understand
and is almost as boring as cricket - so is quite therapeutic. You can just laze about with one eye on the
game and think about the more important things in life – such as how long I can
hold on before I have to paint the back fence.
Have you read "The Great American Novel" by Philip Roth?
ReplyDeleteUtrecht. We went to see a viking ship the city had dug up. And so there it was. SItting there.
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose Cate needs a university? They have a very fine one.
I'm not doing very well at the recommendations though I do recall, it being the Netherlands and all, the coffee's decent and so are the confections. Not Vienna but then really what else is?
Merisi: I am not sure> I will get it on Kindle.
ReplyDeletefeuillet: Cate says the coffee is terrific. She has not had time to see the viking ships.
