Talking Tottenham With Mark


I visited my friend Mark this past Saturday morning and we watched the soccer match between Tottenham and Manchester United. It was a pretty exciting game, which Manchester won 3 - 2 thanks to the hat-trick by Cristiano Ronaldo, who because of that became professional soccer's all-time leading goal-scorer. Mark, a Tottenham fan, was, of course, disappointed with the result, but after all, we did watch history being made. I took the above photograph of Mark in his backyard after the game, wearing an old (classic) Tottenham jersey. These days, their jerseys feature A1A in large letters along the front. No doubt the team is sponsored by that famous highway that runs along the entire East Coast of Florida. After all, the Brits just love the Sunshine State. And why not, with their weather? I think that was the real reason the Pilgrims set sail to America in the Mayflower, if I remember my history correctly.
