Tranquillo Barnetta – a player for Switzerland.
When his name came up during play yesterday, we had to ask whether the games were really tranquil, and how tranquil we feel.
They have been fun to watch, and I find that I am really disappointed that my own soccer season has ended. We won’t play again until the fall. I feel like I have better ideas on how the game should flow and progress. Now, putting those thoughts into action would be an entirely different subject, but I just feel like I would have better ideas.
Today the games go from 3 in a day to 4 in a day. They are played two at a time. Our DVR can only accommodate one recording at a time apparently, so we can only record 2 of the 4 each day. The others will hopefully be available on ESPN 360 (computer), so not lost. Then there is the problem of actually finding the hours in the day to watch four games, work, commute and sleep.
This is making life a little more stressful, but it is a schedule that we welcomed into our life. Add in the new car purchase (up to the point it is time to test drive), still being behind on work and needing to do a few chores here and there. The stress is adding up. But I want to watch the soccer, so I don’t think that will be the thing to give.
We’ll see how it all goes through the end of the week. Oh – and the Mariners are in town …
