They stuck the landing

 

Not yet Paris

 The tee shirt reads:

ROME

PARIS

LONDON

BALLARD

and I have just not yet seen a match in Paris.

Rome in 1990, London last month, and Ballard many times.

Ballard FC (v Laune United FC) this past Friday night to add to my matches at Interbay.

I do not have anything from some SPU matches, but there are pics here from last year NCAAW2 final, 1999 PCSL Seattle Hibernian Saints, and the 2002 USOC Sounders v Earthquakes match.

Now, to see a match in Paris.

A lot of theatre in three hours

 

Saw this for the first time last night on an impulse going for Rush Tickets and lucking out with row 8 for 49 bucks.

There is a lot of theatre in a three hour play.  And they really cram a lot of theatre into that three hours of theatre.  This is a relentless show.  Amazing.  Worth it.  Epic.  Heavy and spectacular.

Finally back to see Beth

 

There was a time when I thought I would never get to do this again, that more of Seattle was gone forever.

Today, I got to get back.

Trying to re-finish the WNBA

 By 2012, I had completed the then current WNBA of all twelve teams.  Since then, two teams have relocated and rebranded, so I have seen those franchises, just not in their current form.

Today, I saw one of those two in the season opener in Seattle.

Not gonna post the pictures

 In 2017 I had a frustrating procedure on my right collar bone.

Monday, I had the same thing happen again and done to my left shoulder blade.

No pictures will be posted here.

Gross, and likely will happen again I am told.
