If you're true Gheorghe Head, you might recall my entry into the rarified air of sports franchise ownership. I return you today with a bit of bad news that's offset by some good with respect to FC Pinzgau Saalfelden.
In a nutshell, we're out of money. So the Club is dissolving. Seems our ambition didn't match our preparation and performance. Bummer.
So I seem to have traded up from the Austrian third division.
Likely more interesting to our readers is Rangers' location. When I first heard the town of Carrickfergus in connection to the club, it sparked an association in my mind, but I couldn't place it. And then, as I looked at the new Adrian McKinty book waiting on my desk to be read, it clicked. Detective Sean Duffy resides in Carrickfergus, just 11 miles from Belfast, hard on the the north shore of Belfast Lough.
From disappointment a bright and wondrous bit of news to end the year. Come on you Rangers!

This Guinness shortage is some bullllllllllshiiiiiiit. Or like Clay Davis would say, some sheeeeeeeit.
I thought you were talking about former MTV Real World Star and our soon to be Secretary of Transportation.
neither him nor the high point university pitcher
I have a brother in law I call fergus. Wasn’t that marls guy also in elected position of some kind? Being on mtv real qualifies you, obviously.
here's a weird one for you. my kidlet got me a they might be giants record on vinyl and a tinariwen record on cd. i have a turntable, but not anything in the house that plays cds. it's as if i've gone back in time, but only this little slice of me.
guinness shortage? i just got a case at costco . . .
Merry belated Christmas to all the Gheorghies. It’s been a blur of a few days with all my family in town. Indulge me as I run down a few highlights.
Xmas eve Mass with my family while my wife worked at her family’s restaurant (Xmas eve and NYE are traditionally their two biggest nights). Stopped by the restaurant after dinner at my parents to see the wife, went home and wrapped a few presents and watched Die Hard 2.
Hosted Xmas morning- a total of 18. All the food and presents and some booze.
Hosted Xmas dinner- prime rib, lobster, lasagna and much, much more. A total of 22 people. Finished the night with a marathon karaoke session (it’s become a tradition and my niece loves it and runs the show).
12/26 is my sisters birthday so we all went out to a big dinner last night. More food, more drinks.
I’m tired and need some water and vegetables but it was a great time. Oh, and my wife is awesome. My gift is an adult trip to Mardi Gras- black tie ball, balcony to throw beads, etc, etc
Once again- Merry Christmas.
strong to quite strong, mark
color me indulged - solid performance
