Guess what? We still don't know.
The DFB—The German Football
Federation—did, as I was writing about yesterday, meet, and as
expected postponed all Bundesliga games through the end of April.
They've not yet made a decision for the weekend after that, which
means that technically—technically—Loraine and I could still be
going to Germany at the end of the month.
I mean, I know we're not, but nothing's
technically—technically--been canceled yet.
The DFB is meeting again on April 17th
to consider what to do in May, and that's when we'll find out whether
or not they're just tanking the whole season or they may be pushing
stuff back, which means that we may yet have a chance to go. It
kinda sounds like if they DO resume the season, they'd be playing
games in front of empty stadiums, which would render our trip moot.
But still.
Technically—technically--we're on track to go.
Like I said, I know we're not going
anywhere. The way this thing is going both Europe and the US could
be closed for a long, long, time. We just don't know how long that
long, long, time could be. But just in case—in the infinitesimally
small case that we COULD go—I'm still working ahead to be ready.
I'm hoping it's not wasted work; if nothing else, if we do get to go
in June or even July, it'll be worth it. However, if the season gets
canceled or they place the rest of the matches behind closed doors?
Well, then it's all for naught.
Unless, of course, it gets miraculously warm here and I can practice
some social distancing on the beach. But the way 2020's going, you
think THAT little miracle might happen?
So if you were curious...no, we haven't
canceled yet. The official cancellation may comes down to the week
or so before we're supposed to go. We'll just have to see.
