MLS Champions

In case you don't follow soccer, which means 99% of you, our home team, the Real Salt Lake, won the Major League Soccer Cup this weekend in Seattle. It's like the Superbowl of soccer. I schlepped it 15 hours up and back on a bus to witness it in person. This was a Cinderella win if ever there was one. It's also a big win for our company, as we are the team sponsor. (note their jersey's below) Here are some photos from the trip.

Ready for the day outside the Hyatt: Ryan, Conn, Me, Carson, Erik, and Marden

In case you ever wondered what a shirt made entirely of licorice might look like.

Ryan carried this flag wherever we went.

Marden's brother Shawn catching a fish at the market.

Parade of RSL fans leading to Qwest Stadium. We outnumbered the L.A. Galaxy fans like 10 to 1.

Met up with a company founder, Gordon, just outside the stadium for this shot.

Inside Quest Stadium. Packed house.

Our $25 seats were way up there.

The big save in the equivalent of "double overtime" that sealed our victory.

extra mile

I was in Seattle last week on business and I snapped this photo at the airport while waiting for my shuttle. The Asian airlines really go the extra mile with their service, including these cute little uniforms the stewardesses wear.
