FOOTBALL!

 
Currently Reading
Coraline
By Neil Gaiman

Do you see me as the football sort?

You don't?

Well!

Yeah, I don't either . . . .

But I played a hearty game of football with my eleven year old friend Jeremy this evening, and we were quite proud of ourselves and our footballing abilities! I actually threw a ball that went almost-sort-of-kind-of straight a few times.

Oh yeah.

I have skills.

And Jeremy showed me some of his practicing techniques that he's learning, and had me running about the yard, backwards and fowards, sidestepping and "bear crawling," which means loping across the lawn on all fours as fast as you can.

I didn't know I had some of the muscles I am rediscovering this evening . . . .

So I read the above-listed book yesterday. Seriously freaked me out! But in a good sort of way . . . . It's a nightmarish version of Alice In Wonderland, and I kind of liked it! A lot!

I wonder what this says about me? Hmmmm . . . .

So, tell me you're not going out for powder-puff football. . .It strains the brain to picture this, somehow!

I'm glad you had so much fun with Jeremy, though. Since you can't play with your own little brother, it's a nice thing to borrow one. Oh--and I really want to see Laura's project when she finishes.

I need to read that book!

Football...ah it's fun when it's only a few people of all different talent in ball-throwing...because it makes for some very amusing chases. Alice in Wonderland wasn't nightmarish enough? Yikes....
