It’s September! And with September comes… FOOTBALL!!!!
I’m not a huge football fan [it’s fine, but it’s not baseball!], but I know lots of people who are. High School. College. NFL. All of it. (For you non-Americans – this is, of course, American football… not soccer ;).)
I thought about waxing poetic about football and sports in general and all that, but I just don’t have the energy! Just watching a game… No, seriously. It’s just been a very long [but very, very productive writing day]!
But before you go on, check out this video of the Olivet Middle School Football team. Have your Kleenex handy!

When she's not writing about her imaginary friends, Carol Moncado is hanging out with her husband and four kids in the big yard of their southwest Missouri home, teaching American Government at a community college, reading, or watching NCIS. She's a member of ACFW and RWA, President and founding member for the MozArks ACFW group, and a category coordinator for ACFW's First Impressions.
I can’t believe those kids from Olivet. The kid who came up with the idea was raised well. That brought tears and I don’t cry that easily. I happen to like football and baseball. I grew up watching games with my dad. Mother liked them too. I have surprised people with my knowledge of the games. I have forgotten almost all I knew about them though. I spend my days now reading more and I was a musician so I was more about halftime that the game. I still support my alma maters though.
