Fútbol is not a photogenic sport, at least not for un-graceful players like me. I present you Exhibits A-C, photos from this past weekend’s game, the third of the season (Club Deportes La Serena vs Fernández Vial).



Now that the fútbol season is in full swing I really don’t do much with my life besides work and practice, so I don’t have anything particularly fun to relate. Except for maybe my friend group’s newfound obsession with both the dice game Cacho and the card game Coup, both of which involve bluffing and lying and I’m not sure what that says about us as a group but let’s not think too hard about it.
I’m barely sliding in on my once-per-month blog post goal, but I’ll leave you with this gem. I’d say that they definitely could have picked a better header photo, but I doubt one exists. Again, see Exhibits A-C above. More importantly, I swear I’ve corrected them on how to spell my name a gazillion times, but what can ya do?!

Hi Margaux!
yes they did spell your name wrong at the top of the article, but as you read through it they did get it right. I guess you are like the local celebrity being an engineer at the Rubin observatory and being from California. The action photos of you playing in the game are great, and you are right they do seem to catch people in not exactly the most photogenic moments, but hey you are on the team and playing professionally! That is really amazing. The lying and bluffing card games sound fun, don’t make it a habit! Hahaha…
Well I am off to the Sierra’s next week for a week of mountain biking with the crew. We are doing the TRT ( Tahoe Rim Trail) and then after that a couple of days on Mt. Hough and Mills Peak. I am really looking forward to getting away from the Lab and being up in the mountains for a week. Will send you some snaps.
Cheers
Scott
