Holland-Slovakia 2-1, Brazil next...

Holland wins 2-1; Moves on to the knock-out stage

Arjen Robben was the spark Holland needed to get past Ghana.
Now on to Slovakia
Still waiting to see Clockwork Orange to showcase total-football;)

USA Wins!!

In spite of being robbed of a goal once more,
Team USA prevailed on a goal scored by Landon Donovan in stoppage time!
Way to go USA!

USA got robbed!

Referee should have gotten a RED CARD!

Hup Holland Hup

En laat de Leeuw niet in zijn hempje staan!
So happy Holland got its first victory in vs Denmark. Granted it came with a gift, but when the ball hits the net, it counts! Watched the game at 6:00AM from my bed and had a blast. Will have to forgo my Saturday morning ride from Red's to watch the next game...
Go Orange, Go Holland!

When the Saints go marchin' in

I had a blast last night, watching\listening to Louis Armstrong on YouTube!
Thought to share this epic performance with you...

Love & Support

It has been a good week, busy at the clinic with increasing support for my college Scott.
The renewed connections with Els, Eric, Cameron, Berry and Niels are very heartwarming!
I am assured this adventure will make me stronger in many ways,
while increasing my knowledge of self.
I am enduring pain,
which is not new to me and I am befriending it
with an attitude of 'what doesn't kill me, has to make me stronger' ;)
(I always think of Gibran\The Prophet, when he says: "Most of our pain is self-chosen..")

I am gratefully embracing the love and support of those close around me.
Without naming any more names, you know who you are...
A heartfelt thanks to you!
One day God will bless you for your love shared!
