My Summer Of Soccer

Soccer...if you would have told me thirty years ago I would be hooked on soccer, I would have told you that you were hooked on drugs. Growing up in the 80's, only the Mexicans from Mexico played soccer. I didn't understand the game. What a fool I was!
Fast forward to 2026. The US, Mexico and Canada are hosts of the World Cup. The final is this weekend. I've been following the action since the first day. I rooted hard for the US and Mexico. Unfortunately both lost already.
I've been watching a lot of old soccer games on YouTube to get a sense of the game. I don't understand the tactics just yet. I'm getting there. 
It's called the beautiful game. I can say that it truly is. 
It's late. Time for bed. 
Until next time!

It's Drinking Time

I worked 13 out of 14 days recently. I'm finishing up another stretch of work. I'm ready for some beers and tacos. Looks like someone needed something a little harder. Cheers to my "weekend". Golf and baseball on the agenda.

Summer Is Here

Howdy y'all! Phoenix Chestnut here! Just checking in. The warm weather is here in Sacramento, which means it's time for cutoff shorts. I used to look down on cutoffs when I was younger. I thought it looked sloppy. I thought only poor people did it. As I've gotten older, I've taken a liking to them. They're very comfortable and almost anything goes with them...t shirts, polo shirts, Hawaiian shirts, tank tops, and jerseys (baseball, football and basketball). And you can wear them anywhere...the gym, the beach, ballgames, brunch, the pool, playing pickleball, concerts, anywhere! I have about six pairs now. I love them.  I saw this picture of some Canadian boys wearing cutoffs at a car show. I always think that summer is here when that picture goes viral in June.  Until next time!

June 1st

Hey everyone! Just checking in. Been very busy with work. I'm in the middle of a four day weekend. Friday I spent the whole day in bed. Yesterday I went out when the sun went down. Today I just had a cheap lunch and running some errands. Nothing exciting. I have a mountain of laundry to concour. Not looking forward to it. I have some exciting post ideas coming up. Until next time!
