Mixed Marriages

Europe is soccer crazy right now.



Wednesday night Germany plays Turkey in the semi-finals of the European Championships. Turkey has staged three stunning comebacks - winning in the last minute against Switzerland, scoring three goals in the last fifteen minutes to beat Czech Republic 3-2, and scoring in the 120th minute after going behind in the 119th minute against in the quarterfinals against Croatia, then winning in penalty kicks. Needless to say, there were shots fired in our neighborhood after that one.


The only down side is that we'll miss all the local color since we'll be in Italy. The upside is that pretty much the entire tournament has been fantastic. I recommend checking out Russia-Spain in the other semi-final as well.

Geoff did say he wondered if your neighborhood was aflame.
I think he also said they will play Germany next. I hope your homeowners is up to date..
