Needed Some Encouragement

Well, I'll try to blog more often based on my little sister's encouragement.

Here are some key things that you should know since July:

1. My wife, Cheryl, had a baby. Her name is Evelyn Gloria Chapman, and she is our sixth child.

2. We have a new in-home au pair from Brazil. Her name is Elis.

3. Mary left for Antarctica.

4. Spurs qualified for the knock-out stage of the Champions League

5. The Royals continue to suck.

6. I won my first soccer game as a coach. We were 2-5, which is not horrible when your previous record is 0-14. So, my collective coaching record for my children in soccer is 2-19. I should be fired.

7. Harry Potter 7.1 came out. It is possibly the best movie of the bunch - both in terms of sticking to the books and being generally fun to watch.

8. I am starting a professional blog so that I can write stuff here that has nothing to do with work.

So, here we go again.
