The World Cup final game for the championship is on, with Argentina and France.* (Edit: they appear to be tied at this point.) I have no loyalties here. I like both countries. It's being played in Qatar. That sure brought on a lot of administrative and political baggage. * I did watch France beat England from a hotel bar across the pond and a local there, who was intoxicated and for whom every 4th word was the F-word, didn't know when to shut up and had to have the police called on him, who hauled him away in their paddy wagon. This hotel belonged to a somewhat nicer chain, so not a folksy kind of place. It's the first time I've seen someone actually being hauled off for this kind of behavior. One of my favorite cities in the world. There are no words. And I'm almost envious that you live there. I'm kidding. I'm actually happy for you.
