“Hope Solo”?

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.

  2. I know, I know…I suppose the rules wouldn’t allow for a wookie in the goal, but perhaps she learned from one.

    You always let a wookie win.

  4. Because you like having arms.

  5. 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.

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

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