As I have for the past 5 years or so, I coached my daughter's soccer team this season. The Cheetahs are a great group of kids, but they're somewhat size-challenged, and were a whole lot of unlucky in the Spring 2012 campaign. We entered our last game of the season 0-6, losers of four one-goal games.
I'm nothing if not a skilled motivator, so I offered the girls this challenge: if they won, they'd get to paint my toenails any color(s) of their choice. And on a gorgeous Spring morning, despite falling behind 1-0 in the game's opening seconds, the Cheetahs pounced. Each of the five girls in attendance scored, with one kid tallying the first two goals of her soccer career. The Cheetahs topped the Eagles by a 7-3 count.
I'm a man of my word:

Getting loobed for my cross the pond trip....have never ever been able to sleep on a plane for more than 30 min....going deep tonight w the ambien. If anyone has anything to say about ambien experiences.....do tell now.
My father-in-law always sleepwalks when he takes ambien. Last time he split his forehead open. I also read about a woman who sleepwalked and woke up in the kitchen eating buttered cigarette butts. So have fun with that.
Kevin Durant is good at basketball.

I may be the only one to care about this, but the divergent paths of the Thunder and Chesapeake Energy are fascinating.

And, if you're not watching BBC cover this Thames River Flotilla, you're missing some seriously entertaining unintenional British comedy.

i let my undefeated golf team shave my head-- that was the deal if they didn't lose. you never saw happier high school kids . . . of course i had hair back then, so something was on the line.
