Congratulations to Spain on their World Cup victory today.
I didn't really comment much on "The Decision" this past week, mainly because I don't care that much. If you don't even know what I'm talking about, I envy you. The Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy pretty much sums it up.
I'll only be in one Fantasy Football League this season. Kinda sad to see the league I founded discontinued but it was for the best.
60 days until football season ...
I offer one from the CrabAppleLane backyard. The summer weather pattern has set in. At CrabAppleLane, it goes like this: Blistering heat in the morning, scattered thunderstorms, and then, steamy, blistering heat until dusk. Rinse and repeat. As the sun was peeking in and out of the clouds, I saw one 5" X 5" sunny spot on my backyard trail. It found the little toadstool below. The sun went back behind the clouds about 5 seconds after I took this.

Quote of the Day
Well I've loved you since the day I met you
And I'll love you til the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin'
And we both know the reason why
REO Speedwagon, Back on the Road Again

The decision was inescapable, even for people who go out of their way to avoid such things.
We had other news in the Bay Area the day of The Decision--ours might be called The Verdict--so I was blessedly unaware of it until well after the fact.
Beautiful, beautiful picture, Rob.
I think this thing reached a new level of sports absurdity, Marie, and I think that's saying something.
Thanks, Dan. I think The Decision overshadowed The Verdict. A sign of the times, I suppose.
