World Cup Fireworks -- Now Underway...

I am not a wildly-obsessive soccer fan, but I do enjoy the unscripted dramatic moments. This evening, Ivory Coast was able to break a nil-nil tie, in the ninetieth minute, as Amad Diallo (also of Manchester United when not in World Cup play) scored on Ecuador.

It is hard not to embrace these moments of complete joy.

Just like watching your high-school freshman bury his first j, in Summer League -- or decades ago, advance to state finals in doubles tennis. . .

. . .Or finish second in an olympic tri-, over twenty years later. . . these are the golden moments. So, do take the time to savor and enjoy them -- like a Korean bbq. Smile. Onward.
