A soccer storm

Now that their qualifiers have ended, the South Americans are reacquainting themselves to the rest of the world.

In Brussels: Belgium 0, Colombia 2

In London: England 0, Chile 2

In Amman: Jordan 0, Uruguay 5

In Miami: Honduras 0, Brazil 5

In New Jersey: Argentina 0, Ecuador 0 (appropriate)

It should be a good World Cup.

Despite the stormy forecast, Stephen and I took to the field. Wind and water made long passing difficult. But we kept playing until Meridith yelled at us to quit because of the lightning.

On our way home, the rain was so thick that we couldn’t see, and when we arrived, the power was out. We sat around in candlelight. In adjacent counties, there were tornadoes.

But the storm passed quickly enough, and today, unfortunately, I have to go to school.
