“We made it!”
I saw an old man crying with joy at being here.
My mom grew up in a house where she could see dirt through the floor and my dad worked his ass off to forge a life where we would never want for anything.
I love this country so much and I am proud of her even when it hurts. The match is just a game but every four years — and especially right now — it feels like more.
From sea to shining sea, baby. 🇺🇸

“The trust of a nation is in that salsa.”

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Los Angeles is an amazing city for art! The Museum of Contemporary Art (@MOCAlosangeles) collection is free to the public and features incredible works by Rothko, Jasper Johns, Betye Saar, Donald Judd, and many more icons.
Highly recommend the stop before USA kicks off today! 🇺🇸
