What a week!
The World Cup has begun and the first round is over. USA did not show up - sad consdering they were ranked 5th in the world - I guess they spent too much time reading their press clippings instead of reading the grass clippings on the pitch.
However, the bravo performace of the Miami Heat and the Carolina Hurricane made up for the wimpy US soccer.
Many Americans poo-poo soccer but for those of us who have developed a bit of a passion for the sport, the USA team performance is downright sad. Oh well, we have two more weeks to enjoy the other battles for the World Cup.
The big news is that we were able to see String Cheese Incident and Ratdog at the Pozo Saloon this weekend. These bands are beginning their summer tour together - each doing a 2 hour set - and I guess they went to Pozo to kick it off and get some of the kinks worked out before a live audience. The kinks were minor (Billy forgot the third verse of Tom Thumb Blues). The venue was dusty but the music was clean. The experience was reminescent of the day when the corporations were not in charge, music was played in a pasture (Max Yasgar's farm) and there was no need for police other than to give directions and help park the cars.
This weekend we head to High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy - something we have been doing for the past 12 years or so, for more music. Beth, Bill, Marlee and Grace are staying with us in Graeagle so I hope to get some nice pix to post.
Healthwise, things are fine and the summer is progessing as planned.
Stay tuned.
