Well, I really enjoyed my first week in my new job - it's a million times better than my old one, that's for sure. Nice building, nice people, nice everything! And I love having the weekend off. At Safeway I rarely got the weekend off unless I was on holiday. I know now I would of seriously regretted not taking the job.
My beloved Aston Villa beat Fulham 2-0 at Villa Park yesterday. Villa play Burnley next in the third round of the Carling Cup on Tuesday. Over the other side of the pond, D.C. United took a 2-0 lead over the MetroStars in the first leg of thier MLS Cup Eastern Conference semi-final. The second leg is next Saturday.
The Caps' AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates, lost their first game of the season 5-3 on Wednesday against Lowell. However, they bounced back well, beating Springfield 3-2 in overtime on Friday night, and then beating Lowell 3-2 (also in overtime) yesterday afternoon! The Pirates play Springfield again on Friday night.
