Yes ladies and gentlemen, football season is upon us.
Friday night we met Bear and Cat ( yes, these are members of our family, sadly enough their parents gave them odd names). Dinner was at Jillian's, and we hoped to get to know Cat better and have some time to relax. Unfortunately, the Falcons were on - and the TV was about a jillion feet high - so I had to turn my back to it. We did succumb to the end of the fourth quarter - and those new Peyton Manning commercials - you know the ones where he has hair. We discovered much to our chagrin, that Cat does have one flaw - he doesn't like football - to the point of actual dislike. We'll have to work on that one. Dinner was great - as was the end of the game.
Jake is playing football for the 6th grade team that will feed into MegaHigh School. He is starting on offense - left gaurd, and rotating in on defense. He has been a great trouper - not complaining about practice in the 100 degree heat.
Saturday we had our first scrimmage - Jake was good - getting in a couple of tackles and lots of good hits. They rotated him to noseguard for a few plays - so the coaches are toying with his position a little - and that is a good thing. He hasn't found his niche - but has made some friends.
More importantly, we met some folks who go to the church right across the way from us - and we sat with them on Sunday morning - happy to have some friends at church instead of feeling like strangers.
My Yahoo calendar has all the Colts games marked - and the Falcons too - since those are more likely to be on the TV here. Are you ready for some football? I am .

I am so ready for the football, actually upset that Monday night football is on ESPN. At least I can listen to it via radio on the computer.
