USA - Japan

This is a terrific final because no matter who wins, it's a great feel good story. I'm rooting for USA, of course, but I'd rather have Japan win, with its own storybook ending, than Sweden. So I can enjoy this final knowing there really are no losers.

To bed early, and here I am. Can't stay up until sunrise, will be back in bed in an hour or so, I guess. I can always listen to the radio with my earphones.

Read and record at Lewis and Clark late this morning.

Man, the gray weather hangs on. What a shitty July. I wonder if we'll get any semi-permanent summer weather at all.
