With it being football season, Benji has been doing some male bonding with Daddy and Grandpa while watching Bears games several Sundays this fall. And apparently he's been paying closer attention than we realized. For St. Nicholas Day, one of his presents was a Nerf football (with a University of Illinois logo thanks to Grandma and Grandpa) and immediately upon opening it he declared excitedly "football". It happened that the Bears game was on TV in the background so he went over near the TV, put the ball on end with one finger, and gave it a little kick. Who knew Benji had such good form as a kicker? He then proceeded to do a variety of touchdown dances and hiked the ball to Mommy. He was so excited and knew exactly what to do with his football. It was hysterical, but I got zero photos — I was enjoying it in the moment instead of searching for the camera. And it was great.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
