Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

It has been a rough summer

Well, I'm still here, I just haven't posted much or done much with my bullfight fandom. 

It has been a busy and rough summer. Lots of projects around the yard and house, and I have started to work out a little (I haven't worked out in a long time and it has come to that make or break point) so all of that has taken away from my bullfight watching and blogging. 

On the bright side this will give me lots of things to catch up on come fall and winter. I'll have an excuse to go back through Mundotoro's archive from this year and see all that I have missed.

I do have a Toroslam update, I am now position #151.

It has been a little frustrating to be honest, I am doing everything right but I guess now I am in with the big boys and even though I am doing everything right things don't always go your way. For example, I had gotten up to position #141 and I made good picks these past few days, and everyone on my cartel cut ears, but even with that I guess others had more guys that cut ears. I don't know. It kind of sucks that you do well but then you lose positions.

I will keep going but I almost quit the other day, it can be frustrating and time consuming.

Anyway, Pamplona is coming up in two weeks. That is always a shot in the arm with the running of the bulls. I always feel if I am getting bored with the bulls Pamplona pulls me back in.
