!GOOAALL! (or lack of it)

Mexico is caught up right now in FOTBOL fever (aka: soccer) while Mexico is competing for the World Cup. My hubby and I are not sports fans of anything so we kind of just live by in peaceful unaffected sports bliss, but here it is getting kinda hard. People are wearing their fotbol t-shirts everywhere and dragging their 27 inch T.V.'s to construction work sites!
Yes, you heard me right.

HAULING A TWENTY SEVEN INCH TELEVISION SET TO AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE SO AS NOT TO MISS THE GAME!

Part of our ministry to the deaf on my hubby's part is to take men and apprentice them in construction skills. So he is heading up construction now on a building for a neighboring ministry with some deaf men and some men from that community when yesterday he recounts this scene.

Lunch time rolls around and a fellow pulls out his TWENTY SEVEN INCH TELEVISION SET(!) and places it on a make shift table of cinder blocks and wooden planks covered by (at his wife's insistence I am sure!) a pink table cloth (see what I mean, wife's involvement, no doubt) and sets up a large tarp to provide shade for all 10 or so guys, who are sitting on buckets, cinderblock and other misc. items typically found at a construction site!

That's devotion!

This is a small town (so said aforementioned wife could walk by and check that the T.V. wasn't just sitting on DIRT!) and the roads are not paved. LOTS OF DUST! When hubby comes home he is COVERED in dirt because the dust sticks to his sweat creating a sort of automatic mud mask. The white band on his arm is where his watch usually is, so the difference is part tan, part mud . . .Sorry it's blurry- I couldn't stop laughing.

Anyway - Mexico tied in their last game 0 to 0, thus the reference to lack of goal in the title.
