Roberto Baggio – The Little Train That Did

A recent Sky Sports news article is encouraging – Roberto Baggio is coming back to soccer in a role with Italy’s national team. After a disastrous 2010 World Cup campaign, it’s good to see Baggio being mentioned as part of Italy’s rebuilding.

Roberto Baggio - 1994 World Cup For me, Baggio represented an entirely new era in playing and succeeding in playing soccer. A little guy, Baggio was able to throw an entire country on his back and pull them through the finals. While the ending wasn’t fit for a fairytale, the fact he was able to do what he did was astonishing.

I’ll be watching his upcoming success just as intently.

Run For (and Through) Central Park

Run for Central Park We’re doing our first organized run in New York today. The run, Central Park Conservancy Run for Central Park, will be fun, but quite a challenge given the expected high temperatures and increasing humidity.

I did a few runs while in San Francisco – it’s a great way to see parts of a city from a different perspective. Roads are closed to traffic, and you overhear stories from other participants about past runs.

I picked up our numbers and shirts on Thursday evening. Very well organized, especially for a first timer. I love the tags you loop through your shoes to track your times.

We’re excited, and hoping for a wayward sprinkler here and there along the route.

A New Look

I refreshed the look of this site, at least the main parts of it. I’ll keep updating the other pieces, but I wanted to get something a little less razzle-dazzle, and more focused on the content.

We’ll see how this one holds up. So far, I’m happy with the look.
