Revolving Around The Cup

Parts of my life are distinctly ordered around the World Cup.

I realized this today when someone called and asked me when I would be available to get together.  I told them that Wednesday's and Friday's tend to work well, but had to add that this Wednesday, I was unavailable in the morning until the U.S. game was over.

Later, I got an e-mail asking if I could meet Friday morning at 9:00 for a different thing, and didn't respond until I went to ESPN and looked at the schedule to see which groups would be playing that morning.

There are some of us in the U.S. who recognize the most important sporting event in the world and are keenly aware of all that is going on in that tournament.
