Beautiful Game (for some)
The debate in the USA over whether soccer is boring or beautiful is not older than the chicken or the egg, but it's certainly close. Beauty is in the eye, and this year the ear, of the beholder... And all sports have their detractors... Somehow Bill Littlefield is willing to brave the deafening drone of the vuvuzelas to enjoy the World Cup.
Every year, it's a weekend of emotional ambiguity marking two medical anniversaries with totally different outcomes.
More recently, a life saving surgery. In the distance, a reminder that one of the few potentially life saving amateur tools in which the public is trained fails 9 of 10 times.
The painful truth is that your best may not be enough to save a loved one. But because they are a loved one, you try... And live with the memory through your Sadderdays.
