My boys are coming home. After a hard fought game against the big, bad Germans, the U.S. lost this morning 1-0. Ugh, to have been able to watch it live! Instead I was forced to leave on the radio and listen to some brainless hacks on ESPN radio attempt to convey the action on the field. Sigh, someday soccer will get its due in this country. I wish I knew where the team was flying back to, if it is nearby (BWI or Philly) I would drive there and yell my fool head off U-S-A ! U-S-A!.

Even more depressing, my Dukies are going to be short handed next season. Looks like Dunleavy is going to go into the draft on Wednesday. Sigh, what is this world coming to?! I'm happy for him and I have no doubt that he'll do well in the NBA with some buffing up, but what is going to happen to my beloved Blue Devils? Poor Coach K. I guess we'll have to just wait and see.

Only 5 weeks until vacation. Look out Nags Head, here I come!
