    Since that is a Saturday I can possibly oblige, pending the designs of a family member who has a birthday that weekend.

    What I CAN'T do are anymore weekday hikes for the next month. (My job would be so much better if not for all the work!)

    I don’t see how there could be any question, frankly, and if @GunnerJacket has a problem with it he can eff off.

    Contrary to what other people might think, I was not completely serious before.

    You’ve done your duty. And then some! You should be free to watch any match live that you want.

    Especially a Wembley final!

    We should he able to trust the coach and his players to get up for that... to come to compete... a whole lot better than Baku.

    They don’t need any more help from superstitious fans 3000 miles away on some obscure BBS. :D

    I think it's funny that people actually believe that their actions can have an impact on a game.

    By all means, watch the game ...... but if they lose and you're watching, we all know who to blame.

    Oh, I've no delusions. It's all just part of the fandom. Sometimes these silly little rituals and hopes are half the fun! So long as you keep it in perspective. If I had the super power to affect Arsenal's match outcomes in some way there's no way in Hades they'd be behind Tottenham!

    Now, what other hikes have I yet to take in southern Appalachia...

    For this, you're going to have to hike the entire Appalachian Trail.

    Do I get credit for the portions I've already done? Will someone mail me care packages with score updates!

    I needed the initial statement to provide a counter-balance to the next statement. The stupid rituals are half the fun.

    The body of a hiker was found along the second leg of the AT today. Rangers said the cause of death was mauling by a black bear. Witnesses say the man was vigorously rubbing two bear cubs together in a vain attempt to recharge his cell phone. "It was impressive at first," said one eyewitness. "He was able to outrun the mother while working the cubs for about a half mile. His downfall came when he hit the ridge and screamed 'I got a signal!' Then the mama was able to catch up."

    Mr. Jacket is survived by his daughter, who claimed "dibs" on his Atlanta United season tickets, and a son, who mumbled something about sending the bear a thank you note.
