Day -720. WorldCup2018
Rest days at the Euros. It's anti-climatic having days off following
day after day of the excitement at the World Cup or Euros. When you
can't watch many of the matches because of annoying time differences and
work the excitement comes down to a level of what are you going to miss
watching today, what are you going to have to look up online for a
quick check of what's happening in the 58th minute and then in the 89th.
So the football is on but you're not
really watching it. So on the rest days you're missing the not-watching.
Get it?
It reminds me of the time I went to a Burger King with a friend
who was eating there for the first time. When he sat down to eat his
cheeseburger he was disappointed there was no pickle, "like at
Macdonald's". "So you like pickle on your burger?", I asked. "No, I just
like that I can open up my burger and take it out". You miss what's not
there even though you can't enjoy it when it is there. Bring on
Saturday.
