World Cup ...

... here we come! So Curt (and our friend Martin--who is German and lives in Germany) entered a lottery for World Cup tickets. Curt wasn't picked in the first round, but he was reentered. Well he got picked the second time around for three USA games. (I believe Curt said that Martin said [whew!] he doesn't know anyone in Germany who has gotten tickets.)
Our original plan was to go to the World Cup in Germany next year and other lovely places in Europe. But we realized that it would be costly. So we decided to go this year instead. Well, once we moved to the Bay Area we spent most of our "Europe money" on silly things like rent, deposits, etc. So we figured 2007 would be our year to go to. But these tickets change everything.
So this means I finally have to get a passport. Yup, I have never had a passport cuz I have never needed one.
