World Cup

Congratulations, Switzerland! If I knew the Swiss national anthem, I'd sing it. But help me out, Spartan brethren: Didn't Spain beat Germany in 1982, the summer we watched it in the Nautilis? A-and the Spanish workers partying all night, and "Viva Espana"? The man down the street who sells poutine says Italy won that year, and disturbingly, Wikipedia seems to favor him over my increasingly unsteady memory. Was it all a crazy dream?

It was and continues to be a crazy dream, the really wild part's still to come.
Sorry not to be chez Johny this week. Working hard at the factory.

It was Italy. With Rossi. You dreamer, you.

I do remember Zof, Italy's colorful and charmingly-named goalie. I guess it was Italian guest-workers partying all night?

And Jimmy, you may have guessed that I'll not be out in Boston next week. By the way, did you tell all your friends you were the old man's niece?

Uncle Sarkisian/I know you?

You said it and said it, but still I can't forget it.

I suppose it's good that I can remember at least some things from my youth.
