The whole world watched the World Cup draw last month, but I'd like to see a more riveting draw than this one that Emily made above. The artist is not really revealing its meaning, so here is one man's interpretation: The figure in the bottom left corner is a certain Dave Ord, the outline on the right is of Africa and the upper left-hand figure is the rainbow of colors that come together every four years for the greatest sporting event in the world. Watch out Matisse.
In a bold-stroke of fund-raising, my sister added a nice chunk of change to the Cup trip kitty when she sold a couple of old gold pieces — a lonesome earring and chain without clasp. I couldn't help but notice the irony (albeit not to the O. Henry level, perhaps) of her selling gold to help pay for a trip to the No. 1 gold producing country in the world. For that, she should receive the Golden Ball for the week's top performance. Anybody else got any gold just sitting around? We can always use the help. Thanks to all who have become a part of our quest.
