12/29/2006 selling my soul to the devil

I've been terribly hesitant to blog. I don't know why. Maybe because if you actually say it out loud, the thought leaves your control and you can't get it back. Maybe because others have been kicked off this site for sharing their thoughts, I'm not sure I feel safe here. So I will "test" blog, sample the scene as the young kids say. I can always quit, right?

 

This afternoon I am sitting, waiting for my in-laws to arrive from California with their 1 year old grand-daughter (I can't seem to call her my niece). The helicopters are circling my house for the Insight bowl (formally the Copper Bowl) set to start in an hour. The chopping sound makes me sad. I should be there, my husband and I went to the Fiesta Bowls and the Insight bowls and a few Rose Bowls, we planned on being there in our 80's, wrinkly, in matching gold blazers and maroon devil horns flashing the sign of the pitchfork. (I'm already wondering if I'll be kicked off for mentioning my alma mater, the Sundevils - the University had to cover all the depictions of Sparky when the Pope came to visit, apparently some people really believe the cartoon devil with the face of Walt Disney signals actual Satan worshipping) Anyway, the stroke stole my bowl games. I hate it. I think I'd even sell my soul to Sparky to get my body back!

 

My cat yakked up a hairball today, hope my MIL doesn't see the stain.

Jan,

 

Welcome to the blog community. I'm glad you mentioned the Rose Bowl. I completely forgot about it and I really enjoy watching the parade. I don't follow football but I think the world would fall apart if some people didn't get their fix. :D

 

We have some school logos in Michigan that people are always debating/campaigning to get chanced to something 'politically correct.' So it doesn't surprise me that some people there in Arizona wanted their sun devil logos covered up for the Pope. Why did he go to Arizona State in the first place? I can't picture him as a football fan.

 

Did you and your husband meet in college?

Yes, my husband and I met while students at ASU. John Paul came here on his first "pope-mobile" tour in the late 80's-early 90's and at that time Sun Devil Stadium was the only arena large enough for his mass.
