My husband says sports are watered-down war games, hence their appeal
to many men. I like the drama of football, and enjoy watching it, and
love to go bowling, but that's about as far as it goes. My girls are a
study in contrasts, one will be trying out for a cheerleader spot for
sure, the other will be fighting to get on the offensive line, she's a
tough little thing.
Nice c-section quip. Damn those European judges.
