USF's Bulls were ranked at #6 for college football at the end of last weekend. They won again yesterday. They're 5 - 0! I really miss John. I don't usually follow college football (professional football has always been interesting to me) but I know he'd know all about the rise of USF. They've only had a football team for 7 years, so their rise is remarkable. It's nice to watch the local news and hear about a team other than the Gators. (They lost, by the way! 3-2..Ha!). I haven't followed USF football and know John could give me a reader's digest analysis on the key players, the coach and the program. Then, I'd feel prepared to watch the rest of the season. Alas, I'll have to learn this on my own.
The Singer is dating a freshman at USF (also the drummer for the youth choir at church) and he's trying to get tickets to next week's game against UCF. The Singer, who has shown less than zero interest in football previously, asked Hubby if he would watch today's pro games with her and teach her something about football, she could use a tutorial by John, as well. Eric, her boyfriend, played high school football and loves it. It's hard not to smile at how cute it all is...remembering that I learned about golf only after meeting Hubby. She actually stayed for 1/2 of her high school's game Friday after singing the national anthem because he came. (They would have stayed later but it started pouring rain...the Singer demanded to leave).
My children bring great humor to my life. There are public service announcement commercials about how different activities add years to your life. One of them states that singing adds 15 years to your life. The Singer and Imp both now feel immortal, as they sing constantly. Another one says laughter adds 7 years. Hubby thinks he has it made as he walks around singing in the house, which causes the girls to laugh, which causes him to laugh! He says he's just trying to keep us all healthy.
The Imp went to a birthday party of a boy in her class last night. The party began at 6pm. Driving the Imp home last night we inquired about the party. She said it was good, but that she was rather insulted by the all the boys' behavior at the beginning of the party. "Here we were, at a party, and what were the guys doing? Sitting on the edge of the chairs, eating chips and pizza, WATCHING FOOTBALL ON TV. [the USF game] The girls were all standing together on the other side of the room and I said, 'This is a party...they should be talking with us.'
So the about 5 other girls went with me and we stood in front of the TV so the boys would have to talk to us." Hubby and I were howling. Hubby's saying, "eating, watching football with friends...sounds like a great party to me." The Imp replied, "D....A......D! You have a party to talk with your friends." Hubby, who just finished reading Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus said, "Perfect example of that Mars/Venus thing going on." The Imp then says, "Yea, sometimes I think the world would be better off without a Y chromosome." What a hoot!
