WOW!

In short, a guy who's got his act together, who know what makes life
life - stuff like HP, camping, sex, music and ... best of all ...
FOOTBALL!

And while we're on the topic of things that *really* count in life: as a
rabid STL Rams fan, I'm pleased that we won't be having any
gridiron-related altercations in the forum until somewhere during the
next playoffs (where I hope that that ol' geezer of a QB you guys got
will be kind enough to throw us as many balls as he did last time we met
there ... <devilish grin>) 

BTW, I just got back from my 6 year-old's second flag football practice.
Yes, there's a flag football league in Switzerland, and Evan, who has
been dreaming of playing in it since he was 4, has been allowed to play,
even though it's for 8-year-olds an up. And best of all, they told him
that he can play in their final tournament game of the season this
Saturday. Probably won't get to do much, but he's flying higher than the
Goodyear blimp. 

(Also BTW, here in Switzlernad, the only televised football is the
Superbowl, and it comes on in the middle of the night. Evan and I have
be getting it up to watch it together since he was 3.)

Huh? Oh, sorry guys. Didn't I ever mention that the one thing I'm even
more fanatical about that literature and philosophy is (American)
football? What the world really needs is HPfFootballFans ...

Good land - now those were the good old days! I'd never have connected
you with them (it's a memory thing - too many concussions from watching
Kurt Warner ... ), but I remember the cafuffle all right. (That one was
right up there next to the time that gal got ticked off and erased the
whole forum.) Anyway, it's not like you were the only person to get a
little riled up, so welcome back to the huddle! (Or fold. Or whatever
you call it when you're a Ram fan who pretends to be a goat.)

Baaaaaa!
