    I got an electric Cookshack:  made in America (if you consider Oklahoma part of the USA -- some Texans don't) but expensive.  It is more of the Ron Popeil philosophy -- set it and forget it.  That is my philosophy too.  They do make a pellet feed used in many of the professional competitions.  Sportsmen's carries a Chinese knock-off but it is moderately expensive also.  I think we are going on 10 yr now and well satisfied.

    I lived in Argentina for a few years, about a year of that being in Rosario, the hometown of Messi and DiMaria. I saw firsthand the passion that Argentines have for the game of fútbol and that’s how I grew to love the game. In my house webwere all on the edge of our seats for the whole game, and what a long one it ended up being. A few years ago Leo Messi made the comment that it was more important for him to be remembered as a good person rather than a good soccer player. How can you not cheer for that kind of guy?!

     

    My son's club team had jerseys that match Argentina, so I guess I subconsciously pull for them.  I also seem to hate France and Portugal with their Prima Dona Renaldo, who does not seem to be a nice person and us just plain lazy.  But I am a typical American and cannot seem to commit several hours to watching the entire replays.

    What a final that was yesterday! I’m glad Messi could finally win the biggest prize in fútbol!

    I am glad he finally got it.  He is an amazing player.  I actually enjoyed most of the games.  Here's how:  We gave up cable and now just stream.  TUBI is one of the free channels.  They replayed all the games along with summaries in 90 s or in 9 minutes.  The 90 s were really too short, but the 9 minutes seemed just right and gave a good flavor for the matches went.  That last game is quite the time commitment if you were to watch the whole thing.
