Having a great visit w/ the Campbell family in Nashville. Arlene, Seth, & Adrian stopped enroute to GC. Wish the extended family was here!

Is the criticism of FIFA (ref errors, luddite attitude) a distinctly American media thing? Or is the rest of the world just as annoyed?
Zucchini is on hold until another night. Pasta with freshly harvested basil (homemade pesto!) from our garden is too yummy to resist!
Charlemagne Palestine & Phill Niblock (& the rest of the droners) must approve of the World Cup vuvuzela/lepatatas. Music on a grand scale.

Well played Ghana, you have the USA's number. Would have liked to see the US advance, but am happy that Africa still has a team in the hunt.
Keeper on Keeper action!
The field seems sloped to the left ... hopefully the US can trickle one in on this end again ...
Wow. What an effort.
I feel sorry for the people dressed in orange sat on the side of the field watching the crowd with their backs to the game ...
Altidore seems snake-bit ... amazed he made contact with the ball for shot on goal.
Dear Landon Donovan, well done sir, again, well done! ♫ http://blip.fm/~sn5nn
Sunshine Superman Donovan Strikes Again!
Ghana looks young, fast, and as if they have magnets on their feet for a ball made of metal!

I'm surprised to see firefighters arrive as 1st responders in domestic disputes. 911 must deploy the nearest pro. What's that training like?
Have you made a significant move into eReading? Do you prefer a particular device or app? What % of your book reading is electronic?

I knew you baked cookies, but teeth? That's a new one ...
Hoopty (life-sized Hotwheel on 24s) crept up to railroad crossing to examine the bells ringing & lights flashing. Gate came down on hood!

Neil Gaiman's description fits many of my customers: "She was a high strung bundle of barely thought-through prejudices, worries, and feuds"

Congrats to former Red Wing Dino Ciccarelli, Cammi Granato, & Angela James (the first 2 women!) on induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
I like shopping at Amazon, not living in it. 96 degrees with 40% humidity? What?!

Overheard @bookstore: "Well sir, I believe the good book when it says 'Lo, I am w/ you always' so you'll never find me parachuting up high."

Anyone out there still using the word "stoked" in a non-sarcastic way?

Big tree (30 ft?) came down across the street during storm. Knocked out everything on the block. Called 911. Metro on site & dealing w/ it.
Happy Flag Day my fellow Americans! ♫ http://blip.fm/~s1vkb
Pretty sure I saw an E.G.W. cameo in the opening train sequence of "Red Dead Redemption." Maybe she was doing some literature evangelism?

Note to bikers: it's pretty gross if the skin/fat you're showing flaps visibly in the breeze as you cruise.

Is it hot enough for y'all Nashville? Did I actually move to the Amazon? Ugh.
Good game. Congrats Team USA!
"Soft goal" and "Lucky man" ??? Not biased reporting of USA goal surely ... well at least the match is interesting.
Football/Soccer might be the perfect sport for High-Def TV. Amazing clarity reveals stunning athleticism. Oh, & lots of receding hairlines!

Who fans themselves w/ a bag of Baked Lays? The woman in line behind me at Subway. Non-stop & frantically.

Basinki's "Disintegration Loops III" & Gaiman's "American Gods" is a great combo to close out this day.
Congrats to the Blackhawks! How exciting for a great team.
Hartnell is in BEAST MODE! Nashville East looks woozy but they're still in it. I would like to see a game 7 between these teams.
Men's room w/ a father of 3 little girls on potty patrol: "Daddy I want to wear your hat." "Just do you business." "Your hat helps me poop."
If you can't find GMAT books in a section arranged alphabetically by subject, you might need to reconsider your higher education path.

Nashville be warned: I'm returning posthaste & am cranky after losing a fierce croquet battle. Damn crooked wickets & scheming Joneses!
