ciao, 063

Stunning upsets by France & Portugal leave this American World-Cup fan dazed- it's hard to keep our concentration through these long tournaments, let alone games with all this back-and-forth, being settled by penalty kicks. I'm more cut out for that lazy baseball pace- though all our sports are oversaturated, they wouldn't dream of only one for every four years. Another way in which the World Cup is like the Olympics. But all our sports have also become overdone (Stanley Cup & NBA finals- in June??) - whereas I know next to nothing about soccer, so it seems fresh, new. My new philosophy- have a good defense, that way you can win on penalty kicks.

I'll get you the highlights of 063- there were a few- an update on the stalled project (even forgot the url!!!)- and a preview of upcoming papers, which could be about Iceland, Antarctica or Hawaii...stay tuned! 064 gets a-tumblin' after the holiday...
