Relative Something

Yesterday was a day for Lance to try simply limiting his losses after he flatted in the pavé (cobblestone) late in the stage. I can relate. There are a lot of days where I am definitely not on top of my game. When it happens, I can choose to accept the situation and adjust my focus to a more modest target. This week is turning out to be a classic opportunity to do just that.

Meanwhile, in the other noteworthy sport occurring right now, the Dutch are feeling out of their minds with glee as their heroes dispatched team Uruguay in the first semi-final of this World Cup. Is the championship their destiny? Time will tell.

I’m going to conserve my resources and limit my losses while I dream of someday scoring a goal as beautiful as either the first or the third shots by the boys in orange yesterday. If you haven’t seen them yet, look ’em up. It’s something worth seeing.
