Football is my very favorite game, and it's in my blood, but you know what? Except for the private school Dad coached at when I was in pre-K, I have never gone to a school that had a team.
My default team from my hometown is either Captain Shreve [link] where my mom, and many of dad's friends coached or Woodlawn which is where daddy coached and went to HS.
Remember the movie Rudy? Rudy's high school is mine (well, my brother's--the film's version was co-ed, but it was all-guys at the time Rudy and my brother went there), and his family's devotion to football as a whole and Notre Dame in particular isn't that far removed from reality! And the rivalry between Joliet Catholic and Joliet West was epic when we still played them. Now that we're in a conference with much better teams, our big rivalries are with Carmel and St. Viator.
I think I may actually be allergic to work. My nose is itchy and runny and constantly on the verge of sneezing, and my eyes are feeling itchy and runny. WTF office building!?!
I'm allergic to work, too! Although maybe I'm allergic to air conditioning? Or just allergic to everything. It's annoying.
I'm allergic to it not being 5:00 yet.
I think I'm allergic to the lack of cats here at work.
(DJ, did I tell you that K's mom moved back to your hometown a year ago? She keeps begging us to visit but, ugh, in the summer? just no. Plus flights from here to there are the same as here to London).
I'm allergic to it not being 5:00 yet.
Heh -- I just have an aversion to that. The watery eyes and sore throat are allergies, I figure.
I always had awful allergies in the office building. I think a lot of buildings are "sick". Especially after they reorganized the cubicles and repainted and put in new carpet. I couldn't breathe for two months.
