the first day of winter

Ok, so I really am going to continue on the Great Emergence series. This is where the book really gets good. Trust me. Some little thing called "Christmas" came along, then I went to California for a week to see friends and family and watch the Chargers beat the Broncos in San Diego (best game I've ever been to in my life!), and then I needed a week to recover from all the craziness and people. All you other introverts who know what I mean, raise your hands, er, quietly sit down in a corner and read.

Now I'm recovering from the heartache of the Chargers losing to Pittsburgh last night. Another long winter without football begins. To me it's "fall" as long as the Chargers are playing football, because you can't have fall without football and you can't have football without fall. I don't care how many times it's snowed already! At least now I will have more time to write on here since I won't be reading all the latest articles on the Chargers...

it's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the first Thursday of September. The air is starting to get that crisp snap. Starting, because in Colorado it goes from crisp to hot to hailstorm all in an hour. Do you know what all that means? That means today is OPENING DAY! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Today, every team is undefeated. Today, everyone has dreams of holding up the Lombardi Trophy in about 5 months. Well, everyone except Detroit and Oakland... Today, everyone is convinced that their fantasy team is unstoppable. Today is a day of optimism and excitement and joy. This will last for about 80 more hours. Then we'll start complaining about players who are worthless, ranting about coaches who should be fired, and wondering "why did I ever draft that guy"...

With that said, I just want you all to know that this is the Chargers year! And my fantasy team really IS good. But I need a good name. If anybody has some good ideas, let me know! It will be better than "Luke's Unnamed Team"
