Of all the strange things

[threeplusfire]

I'm going to the football this afternoon. For the first time ever, I'm going to a college football game. UT vs. New Mexico State. Wild. Karen sprained her ankle at a rave last night and isn't going, so I'm using her ticket. Melynda's enthusiasm for the whole business convinced me to see what it's like. Never had much of an interest in sports, but it wil be nice to hang out with my friend for the evening.

Melynda's terribly excited. It's great.

Visited my mother this morning, and helped her clean some. Gave her a framed print, a picture of me sitting in Havel's seat in Cafe Slavia. Gene's picture was so incredible that Hana ordered the prints for me, which was terribly kind and sweet.

I'm doing a little better. The sharper edge is passing.

Dad was a coach, so I grew up familiar with football; also being in the marching band meant I watched a lot of games. I usually have nothing to do with any sport, but football I can stand, especially if I can make any connection with one of the teams (went to school there, used to live there, evil ex is from there so I root for the other guys, etc.) It's probably a Texas thing. :)

Glas to hear you sounding more happy today- I've been thinking about you. Hang in there.

Oh, it's such a Texas thing. I can't think of any other state that obsesses over football the way we do. It's wild.

Perhaps the roller coaster is one it's way up for a change...
