Yep, I'm back to my more normal method of blogging, the day-to-day that doesn't require a lot of deep thought. Like football.
I'm finding that yes, I am ready for some football, as a matter of fact. Nothing like the return of Joe Gibbs to make me look forward to watching the 'Skins this afternoon. Today's Post has an article about Gibb's motivational methods...I have high hopes that this season I'm not going to be teased at the office for being a Redskins fan.
Speaking of old school football, my high school alma mater beat Victor's on Friday. We didn't make the game this year, which is probably for the best, since when we do go, his school always wins. Back in the day, this was a huge rivalry...both schools were always good (my school holds the state record for most championships, in fact) and the schools were neighboring clusters, so a lot of the students knew each other. (Now there are three schools in between, which shows the population explosion here, and the rivalry is pretty much a memory.)
I can remember the game my senior year. We won, and after the game my friends and I went to Wendy's. We were wearing goofy paper hats with the school logo, and the clerk who waited on us was thrilled, because everyone else working that night was from the rival school. He and I traded goofy paper hats, so I had one that looked like a Big Classic cheeseburger, and he gave us a bag full of extra food. My friends and I drove around for hours eating french fries, playing the radio too loud, enjoying the cool fall night...damn. I know that was a hundred years ago; why does it seem like last week?
Ok, enough geezing...I have chores to get done before kickoff.
Enjoy the day, everyone!
