Topic: Sports
OK... so I couldn't resist watching the Superbowl. At least parts of it. I'm hopeless, I know, but it IS the last meaningful pro game of the season. I thought the officiating was bad. Bad officiating always arouses my ire and that game was no exception. I am always reminded of certain sporting events of my youth where my team was victimized by bad officiating. It's a part of sports, but it did leave an indellible impression upon me. It also sparked endless debate at work (well, the debate ended when we finally decided to do some work!), regarding missed opportunities and taking advantage of opportunities given. How much like life is the microcosm of sports! I suppose that's one reason why I enjoy sports so much: the stories in them; the strive for perfection; the tenacity required to excel; the dedication to craft; the stories in them!; the reflection of life in them. OK, so that's more than one reason. But man o man... the stories! So if you ever wonder why I like them so much, I suppose that's as good a reason as any: stories. Lots and lots of stories. And for a person who sees stories all around (if I swore, I swear I can write a story about a rusty nail!), it's like a feast! Even if the officiating is bad. Just makes for another story.
