I haven't bee following, should I take this tone to mean CAN did not advance out of group play?
No they're out but not unexpected. But every time I turn on the TV there is a soccer game on or a commercial for soccer. It's worse than commercials for betting sites.
Lol, I'd *seen* snow before, just not falling (weird slushy thing ONCE in Huntington Beach), but it was more a fascination with how different it looks than rain against lights in the dark. But, yes, the novelty factor was high.
I'm also trying to consciously acknowledge and appreciate the little environmental things so I don't fall into "it's been 87 days since I've seen the sun".
