blah, blah, blah...BRETT FAVRE!

Good evening, cherished followers! I hope both of you have had a good day.

So I see where my Vikings are/were considering adding the oft-retired Brett Favre to their quarterbacking mix. And I further saw that the sports sites that I check on had an article or two (or...) with their thoughts, observations and inside scoops regarding this possibility. So the thought occurred to me...why not ME?

I don't mean suiting up for the Vikings. Although that would realize a bit of a dream for me and I'm only a few months older than Favre. No, I mean why don't I give MY opinion and thoughts about the whole thing. And then I realized the availability of this forum and here we go...

Um...

I don't care.

Really.

Pick a quarterback, any quarterback. Play the games. Try your best. Win some (hopefully a lot) and see how it goes. But, really, I don't care.

Well, that's about it. Maybe that's why I'm not a sportswriter.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe this feeling of nonchalance stems from the following:
1. much joy was afforded me this morning just watching my 6 YO daughter play with my 1 YO son and make him thoroughly smile. (Brett who?)
2. my lovely wife left today to attend our church's women's retreat. Much prayer today for a rich time. I miss you, Sar, but I am so glad that you are able to take part in this great means of grace.
3. We've had a series of family celebrations in the last few days. We have even decided to make it an annual tradition to round out the school year. We had a special bike-riding excursion for Celia (Miss "I-learned-to-tie-my-shoes"), a unique evening where we all joined in a poetry reading of the works of one Priscilla Joy Bower (complete with poetry-reading-friendly dessert), and we ate heartily at a grand eatery to honor the 'ten essays written' accomplishment of budding blogger/writer Jace. I love my peoples.
4. Both vehicles went down for an eight-count but bounced up off the mat and are back in tip-top shape. I may have just mixed up metaphors a bit, but I'm still a little giddy from getting quality repairs for a fraction of the cost due to God's abundant provision of skilled people. (Thanks again Jeff and Dave!)
5. It's like just barely into May and you think I want to talk about football now?! Come on, let's pace ourselves people.
