Is it possible that the name of the goalkeeper of the US women's soccer team is really Hope Solo? It's not a made-up name describing her job? I don't think many novelists would be so audacious with a character's name. Well, in any case, I wish them well. Unfortunately I probably won't have time to watch much of the game. I've never played the game but I have a certain sympathy for keepers, as one of my sons played that position in high school. I still can hardly bear to watch penalty kicks.
“Hope Solo”?

Oh man. What an agonizing loss. I hate shootouts.
I ended up watching the game after all. Thought I’d just look in on it right after the start, and sat there for the whole thing. -
I just bought a movie ticket online for the first time. I’m really moving into the 21st century. Now I’m going to watch a video about Age-Activated ADD.

Congratulations! For Harry Potter, I suspect, right? And good luck with…I forget…

Thanks. Actually, Bill called me away in the middle of the ADD video and I never got back to it.

Appropriate.

I’m always appropriate.

That was great.

Your extreme appropriateness is great?

Well, that too.

Oh, you must mean the thing you bought the tickets for.
