Football
November 25th, 2005I have never been one for watching sports regularly. I get into it sometimes when I’m watching with friends, but that’s mostly because I enjoy the fellowship of screaming about something with a whole bunch of other people. Participating in a riot would also generate this feeling, but watching sports tends to be less destructive.
Now playing sports is much better. We had our own Turkey Bowl at church on Thanksgiving morning. It was 15 degrees outside with roughly 20MPH winds. The wind chill was ugly, but the football must go on. About 40 of us showed up on the tundra to play, so we had two games going on simultaneously. I mysteriously transformed into the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man by means of long johns, insulated pants and multiple sweatshirts. This not only kept me warm, but also helped me appear even larger and more intimidating than I already am (and at a whopping 145 pounds, I am already very scary). Our teams tied, but we thought one touchdown the other team made was questionable (of course). Currently I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck, and I have a big charley horse on my leg where I got pounded while leaping through the air. But it was so worth it.
hey chief! just wanted to drop you a line and see how your thanksgiving went! I trust you guys are doing well. i am glad you are here, buddy, even though we don’t get to spend much time together. maybe over break we can get together a bit, catch a movie and you can let me pick your brain. give sharon my best and tell her that if she’s a bit stressed out, not to worry – everything always turns out just fine (or pretty close to just fine). best/BW
what up, BD! sounds like a plan. thanksgiving was a good and gastronomically pleasing time, even though i ate too much. i’ll tell you more about it when we get together. let me know when you wrap things up for the semester…

t, I feel nauseous reading about your gastronomical events. But I would like to order one copy of the stay-puff marshmellow meets turkeybowl! Man, I am going to have fun harassing you. Can you install a spell check? i still can’t read or write.
james brock: here’s a little harassment for ya—technically the primary meaning of “nauseous” is “causing nausea.” so you really just said that you make people sick. i shall not comment further on that. however, i shall write a new post addressing your illiteracy and shamelessly promoting Firefox 1.5, which was released today.
