Today, December 18th, 2022, marks the first time that my family has had to celebrate my Dad’s birthday without him being physically present. It was a tough day, but as has been the case for much of this year, sports provided some escape. And what a day of sports it was – starting with a “game of the century” contender in the World Cup final, a series of entertaining football games…and oh yeah, the Warriors finally notched a road win on this trip with a thumping of the Toronto Raptors in Canada. The World Cup was an emotional rollercoaster, with Lionel Messi and Argentina going up 2-0, France striking back behind two Kylian Mbappe goals to send the game to extra time, Messi again putting Argentina ahead with a critical late-game goal, and Mbappe again equalizing from the spot after an Argentina handball in the box.
