Football Season Begins
September 15, 2009
It’s that time of the year again – football season! It’s the best time of the year for me. I really enjoy football on the weekends.
For us, that typically means two things: Detroit Lions football and Sean’s football games. Now, we watch lots of NFL games on Sunday (and Monday) but it all revolves about when the Lions play. Yeah, call me a glutton for punishment, but after 45 years, I have to stick with my boys. Who knows? Someday…..
As for Sean, you may remember he broke his foot in gym class. Despite all his injuries (broken arm, foot, etc), none have been from football – knock on wood. The injury has limited his practice time. He finally returned to full pads and workouts this week! The time away has meant he is on the second team now at defensive end, so he has to earn his starting spot back.
Their first game was supposed to be this weekend, but as you cam see from the image below, the game was called for rain and lightening as our monsoon season begins to wind down. The field is actually somewhere out there in the outfield. The cancellation means he hasn’t missed a game this year. But, can he get his starting job back by the game this Saturday? I doubt it but I am not exactly worried about giving the foot another week to fully heal – as long as he does get it back.
My Poor Blog
June 1, 2009
Oh my poor little blog. How I have neglected it lately! It’s not really by choice, but things have become hectic around here. It probably sounds old, but with work and the kids now doing something damn near every night, time for Mr Papa’s World has been limited. I have managed to do little “Quick Thoughts” blurbs in the sidebar, but that doesn’t really count. Those “Quick Thoughts” get cross posted on Facebook and Twitter and most folks respond to them there since there isn’t any kind of notification about a new post here at Mr Papa’s World.
Being June now, I hope to try to post more about the family happenings. We sure are busy enough to blog about something!
Oh, to get it started, Sean’s baseball team won their second game of the season last weekend. It goes along with their 15 or 16 losses unfortunately. It was a nail biter, as they entered the final inning up 13 – 6, but had to hang on for a final score of 13 – 12. We also received word that the team is going to fore go the playoff system this year and instead just play games. So, that means baseball games up until about the end of July. At two or three games a week, that makes for a hefty season. The heat is already high around here, so luckily, all games will be at night. The season should finish up just in time for football practice to begin for Sean.
This weekend, we have Savannah’s Summer Dance Recital. It’s a two night affair – though I think Sean has a game one night – with Savannah doing like a dozen dances. I really need to do a post about her continued baking work. Until then…
