BA's Corner: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Nope, not Christmas. Christmas is great, of course, but way too stressful. I need a vacation after the Christmas holiday every year. And at my company, the first break doesn't come until Memorial Day. Ugh.

No, I'm talking college football. How can you not love it? The colors, the fans, the sounds, the music, the fanfare, the spirit, the pride. It's not about money to these players (unless you're at Ohio State or Miami...yeah, I said it, but we had our turn in the spotlight too). And you never know what's going to happen. Can't say those 2 things about the pros. Every Saturday, the season is on the line for these guys. It's even more exciting this year because there's finally some excitement in the air again about my Seminoles. It's been too long, and I'm loving it. The better we play, the more chance our games will actually be broadcast over, say, UCLA vs. University of Toledo. Seriously?

Now if I lived somewhere other than southern California, I'd also like this time of year because of the fall: crisp air, colorful trees, and eventually piles of leaves on the ground. Maybe a little fireplace smoke in the air, and an excuse to wear corduroy pants again. I guess it's the little things.

Since I don't have any pictures of me in my college football uniform (or corduroys), here were 2 of Leah's favorite sleeping positions when she actually slept in her bassinet every now and then the first couple of weeks.
