Citizens of the world have a new obsession, though I’m told this has been developing for some time.
I’ve always heard that soccer (a.k.a. football) is the world’s most popular sport, but in the past few days we’ve taken it to a new level. I’m not sure what it’s like out in real America, but ‘round these parts (that would be the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.) the World Cup has replaced Covid as our most crippling infectious disease.
At work I’m even involved in a World Cup “challenge,” filling out a bracket a la March Madness.
I’d complain more but right now…

I’m winning.
