Sixty thousand people in red at a Canada World Cup soccer match will do something to you, even if you're normally a late arriver who avoids crowds. Bob Addison, co-host of the Uncle Bob's Bits segment, was there, and he's still processing what national pride actually feels like when it's coming at you like a tsunami.

The stadium experience leads somewhere unexpected: a list of notes Bob is preparing for his fourteen-year-old son. Talk to people. Have face-to-face conversations. And whatever you do, don't wait ten years to ask someone out the way his dad did. The talk hasn't happened yet, but the notes are ready.

Elsewhere: thirty degrees in Surrey, in-laws in from Alberta, and the air conditioner went in without a fight this year. Both of them.

Topics: Canada soccer World Cup, national pride Vancouver, parenting teens, summer heat BC, Uncle Bob's Bits
