On the Road ... Tour de France

My first mistake 

Anyone who read my column and is even a mild follower of the World Cup probably noticed a rather glaring mistake. And just to set the record straight, yes, I know the United States' first game is, in fact, being played in Gelsenkirchen (and I can't prounounce that one either) and not Kaiserslautern, as I had claimed in my column. So, don't worry. I won't accidentally end up about 150 miles north of my intended location. But, no, that does not necessarily improve my chances of getting in. It's now Tuesday and we still haven't received our tickets. That leaves about two days of mail delivery before we will leave town without tickets in hand.

    I think it's pronounced "Gel-sen-kir-ken"
