good talk

I've been doing the Yin Yoga, of late, where you stay in your pose for a real, long time, and I think it might be better than the constant quick movements.  True Freshman, Tate Martell, from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, was high school player of the year, I wonder if he'll play this season at Ohio State, only 5'10", but the DB's say they can't tackle him in the open-field.  Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal's (Robert De Niro in "Casino") house at Las Vegas Country Club is on the market, 3-bedrooms, bullet-proof doors and windows, 700 thou furnished, sounds pretty-good.  For the longest-time I wanted to see a big-time soccer game, and as soon as I got to England I started asking, I found-out that mighty Manchester United was going to play Crystal Palace, the last game of the season at Old Trafford, in a couple days.  Guys looked at their hand-device and said, the cheapest available is 185 pounds, blah, blah.  But I knew from getting Chargers Tickets in San Diego, that tickets come back the day before the game for various-reasons, so that Sat. I took the tram to the stadium.  They said, we have some tickets, but we're not going to sell you one unless you join our Club, so yes, I belong to Man Utd.  I took the Museum and Stadium Tour, and that was very fine (maybe 10 days prior, I took the Juventus Museum and Stadium Tour, in Turin, and Man U's was much-better).  I bought the best-seat available, and tho it wasn't all that good, generally-speaking, both goals (Man Utd won 2-0) came my way, I saw the action-unfold perfectly.  Josh Harrop, a new English lad, scored his first goal ever in the Premier League, and Paul Pogba, whose signing before the season had set a world-record, but who had been disappointing, had a goal.  This was Wayne Rooney's final-game at Old Trafford (the entire game lasted 1 hour 50 mins, I thoroughly enjoyed-it, and their footballers look so much more lithe and agile than ours in American Football), after 13 seasons, and he played the entire-game.  Wayne had some good defensive-stops and had a beautiful-goal if only a foot lower, the fans applauded, he bowed
