stormy tuesday

As if I could be any more jealous of the Washington Post’s Steve Goff over in China covering the Women’s World Cup. There’s a mammoth typhoon heading toward Shanghai, and for reasons I can’t fully explain, I really love storms and have a morbid wish to experience first hand natural disasters. Let’s just say when Mother Nature throws down the hammer, I want a front row seat.

The same wanting goes for the US WNT, who despite the storm - the center or eye of the typhoon is targetting Shanghai for the first time in ten years - managed a 1-0 victory over Nigeria to win their group. Lori Chalupny scored in the first minute, with the rest of the game being a wash. literally.
