World Cup surprise

D~ isn't much of a sports fan. She has a passing interest in tennis and cricket, but absolutely abhors golf, which I love. But every four years, for the one month that is the spectacle called the Soccer World Cup, she is every bit a die-hard sports fan. It is a transformation that is remarkable, if you know her. She usually sleeps in on weekends, while I am up and about early on my way to the golf course for a round with my friends. But this weekend, she was wide awake at 6:30 in the morning, ready to watch the football matches on T.V., with a cup of tea in hand. And this morning, she chose to work from home, just to catch the U.S. play the Czech Republic. Remarkable!!
