I’ve enjoyed visiting local roasters during my last few trips. This weekend dropped daughter off at college and stopped by Rojo’s Roastery in NJ.

Tried one of the 5-ingredients-or-less-from-Trader Joe’s recipes: lobster bisque pasta. But we swapped out their .99 TJ spaghetti for some funky, multi-colored bowtie pasta from Como, Italy, that our daughter brought us back from her European travel earlier this year.
It was as good as the hype!

Looks a bit more like a 5-3-2, and a bit pragmatic. Interested to see the wrinkles Pochettino has in mind. #usmnt #concacafnationsleague

Just finished HBO’s Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary. Minus the title pun, and lack of Bobby Caldwell, it’s so well done. Couldn’t stop watching (and with a big smile on my face).

Really excited to serve on the thesis committee for one of our graduating MA History students, Andy Peacock. In the room as he’s presenting “For a Healthy Youth, For a Happy France: Sports, Leisure, and the French Popular Front.” #histsport #sporthistory #history

Costa Rican background, resident of Boone (NC), and a cultural historian w/ a focus on soccer & other sports in Argentina. Other areas: history education and SoTL. Will occasionally post about pop culture and my dog, Django.

My brothers were never much into sports, but growing up in L.A. in the early 80s, I was a huge Dodgers fan. And living in a predominately Mexican-American neighborhood (Norwalk), Fernando-mania could be felt just about everywhere.

Senior USMNT managers over the last 3 decades: Sampson, Arena, Bradley, Klinsmann, Berhalter. Now, Mauricio Pochettino. His arrival is huge for the Latino fan base in the U.S. His Argentine roots, ability to communicate w/ players (and the press) fluently in English & Spanish is a game changer.
