Outdoor soccer

The weather was finally nice enough today to play a pickup game of outdoor soccer. It was awesome. Good for my body, good for my mind. For one hour and half, I have nothing else to think or worry about excapt the position of ball on the field, the position of my body and feet in relation to that ball and the field demarcations, and movement of the players around me. It does wonders.

Once school starts in August, I hope that I'll be able to start having regular Sunday pickup games again. Check that, I don't hope that I will, I know that I will. I will just have to make time for pickup games, because they're a joy.

Cherry 7-up

Seriously, cherry 7-up is awesome. It's the closest thing I can find to the absolutely, amazing, wondrous, delicious, watermelon flavored soda that they sold at Mi Apa in Gainesville.

I forget who, but one of my friends (I think Kim) brought me a twelve or twenty-four pack of that amazing elixer from Miami, where it's apparently sold in Cuban stores. I am forever in her debt.

Oh, Mi Apa!! Thinking about it makes me long for that awesome Ropa Vieja that they served. I sure wish I could find some Ropa Vieja here, but sadly, tis not to be.
