Looking Forward...

We have an off day on Le Tour today, so things kick off in the Alps again tomorrow.  Lance is basically out of contention for the podium due to three falls yesterday - tough day for Armstrong.  His strengths and talents now need to be focused on his teammate - Levi - to get him as far as possible.  The stage was won by Andy Schleck (happy me!) and the yellow is being worn by Cadel Evans (also happy me!).  All in all, Sunday was a great day on the Tour. 

Cadel Evans in Yellow.  He SO deserves this!

Sorry to all my friends from the Netherlands, but the octopus was right again (someone put that sea critter into Vegas - phenominal winning record).  Spain won the World Cup 1-0 in Extended Play.  I'm NOT a soccer fan, but this was a great game (even though I only caught the last half hour). 

The Octopus predicts Spain will win over the Netherlands.
It was right again!

And we tried to put the new cable boxes onto our televisions.  Oh - a REALLY bad idea.  Tempers rose, DH stomped around complaining about monopolies, and I'll end up phoning Comcast this morning and arranging for installation.  Since Chickie is off next week, it will have to be this week or a Sunday.  Comcast is usually very accommodating.  I need to pick up two surge strips before we can do this - we don't have enough plugs available to add anything else to it, and ideally I can get a Wednesday afternoon session, but that will almost eliminate my chances of getting my metal clay pieces done.  So I'll schedule myself some time at the shop to work on them, or work on them tomorrow night.  It's the enameling that concerns me, but I'm planning to do bas-taille, so it won't be as elaborate this year.  I also need to get the PPP completed for it, I can work on the master for that tonight.  Busy...busy...
