Lazy Monday Mornings of Summer

The Red Devils are taking on the Blue Samurai on channel 11 right now.

We have trips to plan, boxes to ready for a storage unit, safety bars to get for our second-story windows, but right now I'm chillin' watching a World Cup knock-out-stage game, Belgium vs Japan.

And I love the full color outfits: Red vs Blue. No white kits here; almost looks like a Crips vs Bloods match from afar.

I was thinking about soccer kits the other day instead of doing other chores. Every four years I end up down a rabbit hole of thoughts about laundry, it looks like.

I like international teams that I can recognize with the sound off from a distance. Like: canary yellow shirt and blue shorts = Brazil; sky-blue and white vertical stripes shirts and black shorts = Argentina; solid sky-blue shirts and black shorts = Uruguay; red shirts and blue shorts = Spain; solid red shirts and shorts with green socks = Portugal; solid blue shirts, shorts, and socks = Japan; solid red shirts and shorts and socks = Belgium...

And two of these teams are playing each other.

A whole bunch of my books arrived the other day, and I have a few more projects I should be working on...but...lazy days help recharge my batteries...

I need to make some changes to those proofs, like changing some cover issues and fixing a few typos, but it's still work.

Yesterday there was a crazy accident outside the apartment, which happens too often:

LeBron has signed with the Lakers, my Yankees beat their own record for team homers before the All Star break, Uruguay has reached the quarterfinals and will face a tough French team...

I sliced a hunk of meat from my left index finger, but it's growing back nicely.

Lazy summer Monday mornings...
