Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester Utd. 3 West Ham Utd. 0
Up come two Giant vs Minnow games, first Manchester Utd., then Chelsea. No surprises that we were beaten soundly by Utd. at Utd., and can we start to feel despondent? A goal might have been nice, at least one, but we did show some good football. Our problem is one of not being clinical enough, and Utd. always are. I was in Aruba, which is a perfect destination if you are frazzled, dream about email and have a large family who you are quite content to let sit by the pool all day. It is pretty enough, but really there is only one day possible outside the resorts—a trip to the California Sand Dunes, Alto Vista (why do the genders in the name of this place no agree? I did check to see it was not Alta Vista, and it is not) and an abandoned goal mine, and I actually went there twice, once on foot, some 10 miles, where I saw a pair of Burrowing owls, and one by jeep. I also visited the brewery for a tour (yes, it’s that dull there), and questioned the German brewmaster on the fact that surely the local beer would not satisfy a Teuton. He took me aside from the other visitors and said, “No, I know” with a face that almost moved me to tears.
