Today pointed another way in which I miss my father. Today, Washington and Lee beat Sewanee in Lexington, 31-13. As I worked in the yard and checked the score on line from time to time, I thought about who I could share it with. In the past, I would have called Dad and discussed the game. Tonight, Georgia is beating South Carolina 38-26 in Athens. The game has included quite a few amazing plays like a 100 yard kickoff return and an end around for a touchdown. It would have been nice to call Dad and hear the excitement in his voice when we discussed the plays we were watching on our respective televisions. We would discuss the upsets and the near upsets of the day. Even the Braves beating the Cardinals and the Phillies losing to the Mets (if they couldn't just defeat each other at the same time, which would have been the best).
Oh well. There are always other games and opportunities to share the excitement with others. Tomorrow I will see a lot of my friends at church. I am sure I will get the opportunity to discuss the games of today.
College football is the only thing that comes close to March Madness.
