Being Studious Is Tiring

PotD

This is a really thought invoking piece, I think.

Boy, I've been reading Strategies of Containment by John Gaddis, and I must say both my eyes and brain have been suffering from the strain. I just don't like comprehending the strategic options of the Cold War. I also finished reading The Dominion of War which was slightly less of an eyesore.

Other than that we had a scrimmage with a rec (recreation) league team. You might think that a traveling team should be able to utterly slaughter a poorly manned youth rec league team, but apparently this is not so. I suppose there are several reasons we only won 4-0. Among these are: a. we were missing lots of people (in fact the game started as 4 vs 7) b. tiny field c. tiny teams d. sore from yesterday e. don't feel like playing soccer yesterday f. generally lazy. We didn't take it very seriously. As a result I played forward for some time, not going to happen in a real game.

Okay, I guess I've run out of junk to talk about.
