Los Gatos in the Middle East

If anyone is interested my hometown, Los Gatos, California, got some recognition in the Middle East. I was watching the Kansas City Chiefs play the Green Bay Packers last night and they did a little vignette about Jared Allen. Jared Allen is the Chiefs' star defensive lineman and went to my High School. When I was a senior and in the marching band, we played at the East-West Shrine Game at Pacific Bell Park to show him some hometown support. Anyways, because of Middle East Network, Los Gatos now has international recognition in cities like Haifa, Baghdad (I'm sure soldiers were watching), Doha, Cairo, and probably Tehran and maybe Kabul. Now let's see if any Buffalo Bills games are broadcast. (Trent Edwards also went to my high school and graduated my freshman year)

Thomas Friedman was right: the world is flat and and everybody is connected.
