Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[susandennis]

It is too hot to think here today and the neighborhood is crawling with folks from across the pond. Well, actually across the continent and then the pond. Manchester United is playing Celtic tonight at the football stadium just out my terrace. There are red and green people everywhere. They are a strange lot. I just saw 6 women larger than I am and older than I am all dressed in matching green striped t-shirts strolling around the 'hood.

One thing I noticed is that the gates are due to open about 6ish I suspect and already it's 3 and no one is lined up yet. What's that all about? Baseball, football - those dudes would be in line at noon. Sure the seats are reserved, what does that have to do with it?

Someone here said that the game was sold out in 10 minutes the day the tickets went on sale. The stadium holds about 70,000, should be an interesting evening in the neighborhood...

It's too hot to be outside today for any reason whatsoever. So there.
