At the home of Tai Anderson, Third Day bass player, in Roswell, Georgia. Just finished watching the World Cup- with US commentary. Here's a USA style summary: Zidane scored a PK in the first half of regulation, Italy tied the game, the Italian defense held out the French offense, the game goes into overtime after regulation, Zidane gets thrown for a head butt, and the game goes through both overtimes into PK's. Italy wins 5 to 3 in PK's. Make any sense to our UK readers?
It's been good to catch up with the Third Day guys and talk over a book project we're putting together. Third Day had a show yesterday at a theme park in Virginia so we've had two nights on the bus, but got home early enough today to go to church this morning. Then we went to a party celebrating a 4 year old's achievement at finally getting potty trained (only in America!) before coming back to the house to watch soccer and to see Zidane end his international career ingloriously.
Tai and his wife Shannon have 5 young children and I stand in awe of their organisation, edurance, patience and commitment to family life.

Just watched the world cup. Zidane might have ruined 20 years of legacy in 5 seconds - there is a lesson here somewhere.

Hi Nigel! I met you in Durham last year after the Third Day All Access Tour. Sure wish I could have said hello to you yesterday (I was at Kings Dominion for the concert). Take care and looking forward to the book project you mentioned! God Bless!!

Nice pics. I felt so bad for the French guy who missed his "PK". What a great finish!
Good to see you on Saturday in VA. Look for some Nigel James love in the near future on the Mark Lee Blog Duplex...

Hi Nigel! It sure must have been strange to watch the World Cup without any Brits or other Euros in attendance. Not quite the same is it? and yes, i think when you have 5 small children, potty training is a big deal. Just think of all the $$ spent on nappies!

Care to give us any more insight into this book project????
Tai's family is just precious.

Funny you asking if it made sense to the UK reader. Being the American Girl that I am when you first said you were watching world cup with US commentary, I was picturing you being frustrated with Tai doing the commentating, but now I know you meant on the TV. Leave it to me. Great to see what goes on with you!! Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to lake geneva that wkeeend with a family reunion and since me and my sisters are dancers we will be the only active people there. All our cousins think we are wierd because we have alot of energy. We will be dancing at the waterpark for sure.
