The day after

[susandennis]

All the streets are open again and the neighborhood is in teaardown mode. Giant cranes are removing giant banners. There was a guy with a box scraping up all the green arrows off he sidewalk. His box was nearly overflowing. The parking lot is still full of All Star Stuff but it's being packed up. The massive baseball and the soccer statue of liberty are gone.

Now starts the ramp up to the FIFA world cup here in 2026. It's going to make this All Star Game look like a casual cornhole game. It will be in the stadium closer to me where the All Star Game and activities were centered around the baseball stadium two blocks down. I wonder if I'll be here in 2026.

Swimming was fine this morning. And the getting home was way easier. When Scott and Julie come back next week, I will skip it so I need to take this week and make it a habit I can just pick up again after they leave. I feel like it's totally doable. I'm so glad I found the mojo again.

One swim thing I'd forgotten is that when I get home, I want coffee and breakfast and the breakfast needs to take no longer than the coffee to make. Burrito, muffin, quiche or something like that. Made ahead and popped into the microwave.

So. Today I think I'll pop over to Costco and pick up some of those ham and cheese croissants. Also the car needs gas.

But that's the only thing on my agenda. Rest of the day = easy peasy.

OMG, the World Cup is going to be nuts there.

Idle thought

Yeah, I'd expect you'd be a prisoner in your own home for the duration. But once the schedule comes out, you could probably identify at least one country that would primarily be based there, and has fans who might well cough up enough to board Biggie and Julio, finance a nice vacation for you while the craziness is going on, and nay well cover what you're spending on Press Club seats. And at that price, be less likely to be drunken yahoos who would trash the place.

Just sayin'. You may well decide the upset isn't worth the loot -- and I'd be right there nodding my head with you.
