Before I power up Minecraft and pour a glass of wine, I thought I’d share some thoughts…
- With the loss of their top 2 scorers (including Neymar gone for the Cup), Brazil’s chances are looking thin. Then again, this is Brazil battling for the Cup in Brazil. They will be fighting beyond their means. Argentina v. Brazil is a possibility but not a likelihood thanks to the above level play of the Netherlands. This last set of matches pre-final will be worth the full 90+ minute watch. Suddenly I really love soccer…
- I’m trying to come to an understanding about how young is too young for club athletics. On the one hand you want to nurture the desires of your kids. On the other, the commitment (financially and time wise) can be intense.
- I’m convinced now that satisfaction is a bad word. One mustn’t merely be satisfied with their life. I believe you ought to drive for happiness every chance you get.
- On the subject of happiness, a friend just got a new puppy and that makes me want to find a new cat so much more…
- Basketball is wrapping up for me in a few weeks. I still haven’t played my way back into form. In fact, I missed the last 2 games because of scheduling issues. The team is undefeated thanks to an influx of new talent. I’d like to think I’m a part of that, so what I aim to do is make sure my game is very polished for this next week. There are a few things my body will allow me to do successfully, so all that is left is to convince my mind to follow suit.
- The kids’ seasons are wrapping up as well. 2 is the most losses any team has and that is the very raw 8-9 squad. Our last two games are against the 2 teams that beat us, so we get to see where we are now.
