USA 2 – Panama 0

June 11, 2013

Big event of the day was the US Men’s National Soccer team playing a World Cup qualifying match against Panama.
There was a Mariner’s game going on across the street at approximately the same time.
Attendance at the Soccer Match = 40,000+.
Attendance at the Mariners Game = 10,266.

Both home teams won.
Both home teams had a shut-out.
Both games ended within 30 minutes of each other.
Lots of happy people in the streets.

Decisions

June 11, 2013

Made a few decisions yesterday.
36-inch window instead of a 42-inch window.
Remove a small wall – at least until we see how it feels without. (This could save, if is stays gone, or add – if we put it back in later.)
Chatted about a detail on the ceiling area soffit above the stove area (really the entire stretch along the dining room/kitchen connection).

The door that would be a wall, except maybe not now.

Need to get more decisions put together at work now.
Focus, focus.

Also need to figure out whether I am carpooling today. If not, I have a 10-minute walk to get to the car.
