and then there were two...
So France beat Portugal in 90 minutes of soccer (football for my international friends). I predicted that, but not like that! I thought France would outplay Portugal not win it on a controversial penalty call! I’m sorry to the Portuguese, it’s a rough way to go.
Have I mentioned how much I hate shopping? If not, let me tell you. I really do not like to shop! Apparently, however, I like to shop more than create content for classes. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing tonight, instead I went to the Emerald Square mall and bought 4 pairs of shorts ($18 each! More than 50% off), I bought a pair of sandals too, we’ll see how they go with my stupid feet. Sheesh, I hate my feet.
And now I’m blogging, instead of creating content for my class. I bet I’ll be a dead man!
Went to the parade yesterday with the fam, met some friends there, the parade was pretty weak. I was a bit torn though. People were handing out “Bernie for US Senate” stickers and stuff and I’m not completely convinced I won’t vote for him. He seems to be one of the best guys we have in D.C., yeah, so he’s a socialist (communist?) big deal, he gets stuff done for the older folks and the environment, two things I’m concerned about. He also seems to be pretty straight up, lives modestly, etc. Supports the causes he believes in (aforementioned), I just don’t know. Strange for me, I’m usually pretty conservative. Maybe it’s time to take a trip to meet Mr. Sanders, I just don’t know.
The picnic was alright, watched Germany get beat my Italy, alright game. I think Italy is going to beat France in the final (especially after the two yellow cards for the France boys. We shall see. Two games left in the 2006 edition of the World Cup! Saturday at 3 and Sunday at 2, both games you’ll find me down at the pub, come on down!??!!
Then the fireworks last night, met some friends there, saw other folks I hadn’t seen for a while, but again, didn’t seem as big as usual (like the parade) the finale was fantastic though! Really appreciated that! Think of the Boston Pops fireworks show, now chop off all but 80 feet and shorten it by 15 minutes and that was the finale. It was worth seeing though.
Weeeeell, I suppose I better get some work done, class is next Tuesday and I have TWO (count ‘em!) two, two hour classes to create content for. I don’t know why I can’t just talk for four hours, I know the stuff, what a pain! Oh well, off I go. Peace, Love, Beer.
BS

Imagine my surprise when coming back from 4 days of no work to find that my brother had posted not 1 or 2, but 3 TIMES!! Very exciting discovery. So...sounds like some interesting conversations and some cool, lazy days. BTW...there are still two games?? Why come? Isn't there just France and Italy left? I guess I don't understand this last little bit of it...send me an email if you get this...have a wunnerful day!

Wow, my first comment!
Thanks for coming, thanks for being here. :-)
I'll explain the last few here and then I'll copy it to e-mail and send it to you.
The final four teams make up the last four "places" in the World Cup, so France and Italy get to play on Sunday in Berlin for 1st and 2nd (1st loser) place and Germany and Portugal get to play on Saturday for 3rd and 4th place (2nd and 3rd loser!). That's how it works. See you at the pub! :-)
