Watching a playoff football game in Chicago in a SNOW storm.
Sitting in the jungle watching football doesn't fit.
Panama is the land of baseball. They are crazy about baseball.
More than once, I have met a major league baseball scout in David. If you follow baseball, you know that there are several big stars from Panama.
Futbol, (soccer) is a minor sport in Panama. Across the border in Costa Rica, futbol rules! But not here.
In either case, football is an odd event in paradise.
I get homesick from time to time for all that is American. And watching football brings this up.
There are many things about the US that I love. The familiarity, knowing the language, understanding the way of life, being able to find whatever you want or need, the customs and the culture.
My old friends!
And I would be working if I was still in the US. I love to work. It defines my life in a very familiar way.
Watching football leaves me a little homesick.
But then I see the snow...and remember the cold, frigid weather.
No thanks!
Even if I returned to the states, I would not live in the cold again.
It sure is fun watching it snow...from paradise!

Yea, verily, it is FREEEEZZZINNNGGG here... and the cold season just started! I hate it when I pay attention to it... so... I keep my head in the clouds, focus on other things, keep Boquete pics on the desktop!
Bbbrrrrr!!!
And I complain when I have to put on a long sleeved shirt. I check the weather in the US often to stay grateful about my life in the tropics.
