wow!

What an excellent game last night! DC United really showed up to play, and the Rapids were clearly still shattered from their embarrassing defeat by a nine-man FC Dallas team last weekend. Despite the field looking more like a Slip N Slide than a soccer pitch, our guys managed to really dominate Colorado, control 80-90% of the game, and give Joe Cannon nightmare he won't forget soon. (After Freddy Adu scored on him, the Nest started singing "Joseph Cannon is a 15-year-old's bitch, a 15-year-old's bitch, a 15-year-old's bitch..." :-)

Amazing rainstorm out here was apparently a devastating near-hurricane elsewhere. My sympathy to those who got caught in and soaked by it. I noticed a huge quantity of leaves down downtown and in our neighbor hood when we got back last night, but not until this morning did I see the massive dead limb that came crashing down in our front yard. Glad that didn't hit the house.

Dar Williams concert tonight; flyingwolf, am I picking you up at the Metro (King Street)? or have your recent experiences with agony suggested to you that rest may be a better plan? Anyone else want to join in the fun?

I thought last night about getting up and running this morning as I had on Tuesday, and then going to the gym this afternoon, so as to makeup for not getting any exercise yesterday. I got to bed late, though, so I set the alarm for 7.30. Cats got me up at quarter of seven; I fed them, actually managed to go back to sleep (unheard of for me after waking), slept until the alarm went off, then apparently went back to sleep again, as I woke up from a dream in which Bobby Convey was helping someone move furniture for me to find it was nearly 8. I've never done that before either. Must get to bed earlier...

Edit: My other two favourite team (New England and Chicago) also did well last night, NE cleaning the clocks of the Dallas Burn/FC Dallas 3-0 and Chicago stomping 2-1 the SJ E-quakes who beat us like a rented mule last weekend.

If Bobby Convey is moving furniture for you please please please let me know and I'll be there ;-)

It was a very odd dream, and I realized I should be getting him to autograph something for me and was hunting for something and eventually asked him to sign the shirt I was wearing (which was a grey t-shirt I've never seen before with a DC logo on it).

This morning I'm remembering that "furniture movers" used to be slang on BS a couple of years ago for the journeyman players that Ray was fond of hiring who could sort of do anything OK but nothing really well. But I don't know if that played into my dream or not.

Yeah... I think I'm going to take lots of drugs (got some neat ones at the doctors this morning) and try to get some real sleep or I'll never get over this. Maybe next time. Enjoy the concert!

I'm sorry not to see you, but that sounds like a good idea. Sleep well, and I truely hope you feel much better soon!
