Two Weeks Stoppage Time

With newfound focus and determination, I've been pushing hard towards making some solid progress in my thesis surveys. Coincidentally, the World Cup has begun this week, providing me a late night companion as I code an online testing application. Although watching a lackluster France v. Switzerland game resulting in a 0-0 draw is nobody's idea of how to spend 4am, it motivates me to continue coding until the final whistle. I never was a morning person anyway, now even less so, at least on the back half of the AM dial.

We're only two weeks away from returning home now, and can practically smell the burritos. There is a country in the World Cup called Togo, which has also brought a renewed desire to have the tasty Turkey, Bacon & Avocado from their sandwich shop namesake. There is a running list of about fourteen different places that we want to make sure we dine at when we're back. It is sure to be a gluttonous cornacopia of food.

Gooooooaaaaaaaal!
