It's now been a few years since I played soccer. Last World Cup I was all still in the, you know, idea that me and - like - slide tackling was... errr... not stupid. I thought that it was very healthy to have rolled ankles, sprained kneed, black and blue shins not to mention aches and pains. Not just aches. Aches and pains. Fortunately, I have embraced non-fitba member me since then. I've found a life after exhaustion, hot baths and aspirins all weekend. And looking like a bee. It's a great game, though.
- France and Uruguay this afternoon. I have always liked Uruguay and not just because of the abundance of the letter "u" in the name. Blues v. Blues. Hope the blue team wins.
- "6 Ways To Overcome Social Media Burnout"? Doesn't it start with not being a nerd when you are six?
- Nigel Barley?
- Canada Posts bans dog treats. Bite, doggie, bite... but aim for management.
- Someone doesn't like "food bloggers with their wankerish little digicameras"! And it's that most useless of creatures - a newspaper food critic. Remember: those who cant' complain a lot and do their best to keep available funds to themselves.
- New UK PM apparently is having a hard look at Jean Chretien's masterful decision to take a stand eighteen or so against deficits. Will he seek Steve's advice as to how Jean did it?
Wish good luck for South Africa. I have cousins there, grew up in a boycott house, have a great pal who was in the Army and then got away before the changes, lived in towns with Boer War monuments. We should be closer.

My son's going around saying "Bafana, Bafana!" already.

I rather wish I'd had a digital camera back before kids when I was a bit of a foodie. Some of the presentations in the better Vancouver restaurants were brilliant and I only have so much capacity in the optical sector of the Currie brain....they are fading away...fading.
