I didn't need to leave home earlier because I would leave the office late to pick up my son at his dorm. His dorm inspected time was schedule at 6:00 PM, then he would move out to close his sophomore year.
Getting up around 6:00 AM, I took shower then started catching up my diary for yesterday while watching CNBC on the platform empowered by Thinkorswim. The markets were still in profit taking. Twitter dropped almost 4%. Ok, I will ignore other social media platform but Twitter and Periscope for my Presidential Campaign to beat Clinton and Trump. How does this sound? A discussion was between Kudlow and Santelli about negative interest rate or another round of quantitative easing to be brought in. Kudlow mentioned Trump to have solutions of curing the economic problems as a successful businessman but Santelli sounded not be convinced. I will put forward my new business model to beat Trump as a businessman; Resolving global issues is just playing games, I am the best of doing it amongst all politicians, so I will defeat Clinton as politician.
Leaving the office at almost 5:00 PM, I drove through I-90 floating bridge on Lake Washington in the heavy congestions. Arriving at my son's dorm, I saw cars parked along the streets, parents like me came to pick up their children. My son carried all his stuff down and I loaded them into the trunk. After the room was inspected, my son got into the car to leave his home on campus. However, he will move back into the same dorm in fall. On the way home, he complained to me that his biology grade in final exam was only 1 point lower than average mainly because he was trying to catch a girl he wanted to chat with, didn't spend more time to finish a question. I laughed at him why he hadn't made more efforts to please girls he liked when he had plenty of time during the quarter but waited until the last minute. He told me that he even didn't find that girl after he turned in the exam and rushed out of the test room. What a worthless loss! However, we talked about the things he planned to accomplish during the summer break and my suggestions: Learning how to trade stocks and capture financial information; Finishing the novel based on my memoir published on facebook and this blog and publishing it online that may start his writer's career or at least can ensure him to provide valuable writing sample to apply major in Creative Writing in Winter Quarter; Building his Ricky's Show on Periscope.
Arriving at home, I missed the first match of the double headers but caught the second from 25 minutes in first half when Argentina was leading Panama 1 to 0. After dinner, I came back to my bedroom to keep watching. Messi was subbed, which made the whole field excited. I bet all fans in front of TV were the same too.
Messi didn't disappoint the fans who made hat tricks within 20 minutes and Argentina beat Panama badly with 5 goals at the end. A fan rushed into the field to worship him and he hugged the fan before he was kicked out by the security guards.
I just bought the tickets to the match Argentina to play Bolivia on 14th at Centurylink Field and my son would go with me that night. Though it wouldn't be a competitive match because Argentina had advanced and Bolivia had been eliminated, we still would like to watch Messi. Hopefully he would play for dozens minutes.
I watched Messi playing twice in person but both were in international friendly, one was in 2010 at Centurylink Field when Barcelona visited Seattle to play with Sounders. Another was in 2012 at Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt when Germany National Team hosted Argentina National Team. This would be the 3rd time but in a competitive match. The photo was snapped at Commerzbank Arena in August, 2012. My son and I dressed Sounders' shirt, which might cause all Germans' curiosity that night. However, why we took train from Paris to Frankfurt then drove the car to the arena was to watch Germany National Team. Messi's Argentina National Team won the match 3 to 1 if I recall correctly.
Ok, I will watch five soccer matches tomorrow because Euro Cup 16 kicked off today. France won over Romania in the opening match.
