I have always thought soccer was a great sport, but rarely watched it on tv until the current FIFA World Cup matches. I watch USA of course, but also Mexico, Canada, Australia, Spain, Brazil, Japan and more. The speed, stamina and agility are truly amazing.


I have been watching so many matches. A lot of soccer. Maybe too much soccer? I usually mute commercials, but I was busy and didn't and looked up in time to see Ochoa from Mexico's soccer team in a commercial, I immediately said, Oh, Ochoa! Then I thought, Wow, you are watching too much soccer! I don't remember the commercial, but he was in a suit and tie, and I knew him? Before FIFA and the World Cup competition I wouldn't have. Wow!

They say that a Korean woman flying from Seoul to California with her 4-month-old baby once decided to hedge against just such wrath by handing out 200 (!) bags before the flight.
Each bag contained earplugs, candy, and a note that read:
"Hello! I'm Joon Woo, and I'm 4 months old. Today I'm flying to the US with my mom and grandma to see my aunt.
I'm a little nervous and scared because this is my first flight, which means I might cry or make too much noise.
I'll try to be calm, but I can't make any promises... Please excuse me.
My mom has prepared a small bag for you! It contains candy and earplugs. Please use them if I make too much noise. Enjoy your trip. Thank you."
Mom needn't have worried; Jun Woo behaved like the most exemplary passenger. The baby slept for the entire 10 hours

Jacki, that's another collage I absolutely love! Also the colors are so special!
Maybe a thunderstorm will bring some relief? There are dark clouds and it's windy, so let's hope for some rain and cooling down.
