One Day, Two Triumphs
You bled. You clawed. You scrapped. You dug. You found your soul.
That's the US team I was hoping for. We aren't going to out-skill, out-technique, or even out-class our opponents. But we can certainly out-work em. You boys did.
The result was a 1-1 tie, which is a major triumph considering the referee's ridiculously quick plastic.
I am a very proud US soccer fan today, I hope you are, too.
But this bloggernaut isn't just going to talk soccer every day. There are other matters of interest to discuss. One of which is Ryan Joseph Martin. A newborn weighing in at 6 lbs and 15 ozs of Irish fury.
Emily and Tim, a heartfelt congratulations. I will be in FL to terrorize the entire crop of Martin children in mid-July. Nothing you can do will prepare em for it. That's what a first uncle once removed, fourth brother, second cousin is supposed to do. Happy Pappy's Day to ya. And to all Pappy's, including mine. Love ya, Dad.
I leave you all with a quote from Julio, my morally-lax friend here in CT: "It's Father's Day for me in Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Miami..."
