fifa u-20 womens world cup finale and end of festival season

the fifa u-20 womens world cup is done and germany won it after beatin nigeria 1-0 in extra time. germany's third title. congrats to germany. meanwhile france beat north korea 3-2 to win third place. so there is your top four. the women's world cup is next year and again canada is hosting that one. meanwhile the fringe, from the sound of the fireworks going off (cannot believe i can hear them going off), has officialy ended, thus bringing the end to the summer of festivals for another year. the works, street performers, k-days, heritage festival and fringe in that order. even though there is still a week to go for summer. even if the calendar says the first day of fall is sept. 23, in my mind the real first day of fall is the day after labour day. thats when the kiddies go back to school. a good summer to say the least.
