Every week from now until the World Cup I’m going to analyze a group and give my predictions, moving from the least interesting groups to the most interesting, ending with what I consider the Group of Death. This week it’s Group C.
Group C
1
Argentina
2
Ivory Coast
3
Serbia & Montenegro

I just got a piece of terrific news. My story “Working Out Our Salvation” was picked up by Weird Tales!
Which is interesting because I didn’t send it to Weird Tales, I sent it to Fantasy Magazine. I submitted it right before they switched to e-subs and I think it got misfiled in the [...]
We took around 500 pictures on our trip but you’ll be happy to hear I’m not posting them all. We took two cameras, a point-and-shoot digital and our SLR. We’ve got in the neighborhood of 300 digital photos and we burned six rolls of film that were either 24 or 36 exposures. [...]
We made it home safe and sound—albeit after two delayed flights—and got into Milwaukee around 8:00 pm last night. It wasn’t bad but I’m sure glad it’s over. We flew Air France over (lovely) and Northwest back. The Northworst flight had a rather clueless team of flight attendants who were mildly rude [...]
Ahoy there. Writing this last post from gay Paris and I`m keeping it short because of the goofy French keyboard that has the q where the a belongs, amongst other oddities. You need to shift to use the period? There`s no apostrophe? Huh?
I have lots to blab about per usual but [...]
We’ve moved again—this time we’re in Evora, which is about ninety minutes east of Lisbon. It sounds like we’ll stay in Evora for two or maybe even three days as the drive to the Algarve won’t be happening, which is almost a relief. Everything we’ve heard is that the Algarve is like Spain’s [...]
Finally, we found an Internet cafe’ that has high-speed access. I’ve been posting using dial-up on connections that log out your session, so I’ve had to be brief. Now I’ve got freedom to blab. Lucky you.
We’re now a week deep and really enjoying ourselves. We haven’t yet done anything we wouldn’t [...]
I’m posting this message from a small town in northern Portugal called Geres, which is a good distance northeast of Braga which is north of Porto which is way, way north of Lisbon. Or to put it another way, we’re in the middle of the country up by the border with Spain. There’s [...]
Finally, a night in to catch up on blogging. Unfortunately, we’re afforded the time because Porto apparently closes down at 9:00 pm.
We’re on day three of our trip and have already done most of what there is to do in both Lisbon and Porto, Portugal’s two largest cities. They’re quite different. Lisbon [...]
We made it! No problems whatsoever except not being able to sleep on the flight over. And the fact that each seat has its own personal tv unit and I ended up playing computer chess instead of reading.
We got into Paris and had a five hour layover so we jumped a train to [...]
