Canada advanced to the KO round, beat SA and now is in the round of 16. For the first time ever. Listen to this inspiring speech to this team of "Canadian heroes"- delivered by an American!

Brady Tkachuk heading to Florida to join his brother!!!!

Fradi, you left out France which is currently the #1 ranked team in the world, ahead of #2 England.

Boyfriend duties called! If Canada advances to the KO round which now seems likely, and there is no concert going on, he might want to put in an appearance at the match with Katy.

Julia, I am not going to disagree with anything you said in your post above, but Judy already mentioned he has been on the board since the party. I presume this person has read this thread. So it has been "mentioned." I presume the lady in question who was not paid, still wants to get paid. My...

My assumption is that you likely take away any incentive to provide the former if it's known that you will impose the latter. Although frankly, I doubt an apology and restitution will be forthcoming, and a ban from future parties will likely be the only feasible outcome here. My post that you...

In a situation like this, in my opinion, there has to be full restitution and an apology, or the person involved should be banned from any future parties. Anyone who is not out to deceive would have discussed compensation for social time and private time in advance. I think that expecting the...

Canada is leading their group with 4 points and a +6 goal differential (Switzerland is 4 and +3). They seem like a lock to advance to the KO stage.

Trudeau on absence from Canada World Cup Match: "Boyfriend Duties Call" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly9eljexnno

On the subject of desserts, one ice cream parlor I visited in Bar Harbor was heavily promoting Lobster Ice Cream. Many kids were eating it. It's buttered ice cream with Lobster Chunks. I could not wrap my head around it. I chose instead "Salted Brownie Bliss", which was wonderful- Salted Vanilla...

More pics from Maine. This is an authentic Indian Pudding I got in Bar Harbor. This is a regional dessert in New England dating back to Colonial times. It's made with milk, cornmeal, molasses, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Served warm and with Vanilla Ice Cream scooped on top. I really...

Isn't that what I said?

Maine Blue Cheese Salad with grilled Arctic Char. The Char was perfectly grilled and soft as butter:

A big favorite of mine is Seared Ahi Tuna Tacos. These were very good- even better than they look. They are draped with pickled onions and a wasabi aioli which had a very high wasabi to mayo ratio, as it should be!

Smoked Fish Chowder is fairly popular in Maine. This one is made with Smoked Halibut. Again, it's lightly dairyed as compared to typical New England style Clam Chowder or Lobster Bisque. A few splashes of cream:

What trip to Maine is complete without a Maine style lobster roll- lightly mayoed and served cold or room temperature, although they also offer the Connecticut style, hot and buttered at most seafood restaurants:

Pics from recent trip to Maine. All seafood is boat to table fresh. Local Maine oysters served with pearl onion mignonette and strawberry mignonette: Lobster Chowder- different than Lobster Bisque. Lobster Chowder has a lower dairy content, no potatoes, lots of lobster meat, and scallions:

This ESPN preview has Canada making the quarterfinals of this event. Are any of you guys aware of this possibly very dangerous Canadian team? Does anyone care? https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/48962628/world-cup-predictions-picking-winner-every-game-entire-tournament
