Others, however, never cease to amaze me. Some people overcome obstacles I avoid even thinking about. I cannot fathom the sadness that some have experienced, and will likely never be able to appreciate fully just how incredible it is that they have reached the heights they have. All I can do is sit in my seat and admire them for their accomplishments.
On that note...

I'm with Jameel on the WorldCup thing - I just don't get it. There were bands of cheering Mexican men walking the streets of DC on Shabbos in full soccer gear - jersey's and sombreroes (sp?) - in preparation of the match between Mexico and Iran. It was bizarre.

The Cup is exciting to watch. Plus, it always makes a difference when the fans are into it.
