Though Black Friday is annoyingly capitalist, I waited in Target line with fellow Swifties. One ticket back from the last vinyl. It’s OK, because it was enchanting to meet other eager fans and share stories.

Also, can we talk about who came up with the idea of StarCam on Golazo/CBS? Creepy and boring way to watch a game, for sure.

Paramount+ (and streaming in general) really let down NWSL soccer fans this year. Even when a service was listed as carrying a game, it offend didn’t work. Thank goodness for OTA television.

Quick roadrip to Corvallis - not for football, but because OSU rowing puts on an annual regatta and lets us former rowers get back in the boats for alumni races. Felt so good to be back on the Willamette.

I want to share a moment of joy from the past week since *gestures vaguely* - We made it out to Providence Park to celebrate Christine Sinclair’s epic career. Pure love and gratitude everywhere you looked. My daughter and her teammates got to thank one of their heroes in person.
