The Tom Bowl

It's a Tie
The first morning Tom Bowl brought an excited group of fans to Frank A. Schafer
field for Tom Bowl XXII. One fan yelled "football game, football game" as he ran
through the snow in hopes of seeing the game. Blue skies, a stadium gate
that had previously been opened and footprints leading to the field raised hopes
that the three teams had shown up for the game but they were no where to be
found. Some younger fans even ran out on the field just to confirm the absence
of the teams. Attendance: 14. |

many. Won't do that again. I finished the Lincoln book. It was great. At the
end, during the parade to celebrate the end of the war, Gideon Welles noted
how everyone was there "Except Abraham Lincoln was not there. All felt
this." Since then I've been on bit of a reading tear. Reading is
fundamental. The cup finally fell apart. It came apart at the seams. I miss
the cup but the new cup is pretty nice. I am at a complete loss for a movie
quote of the year. I guess I'll go with this one, "Here's my day so far:
went to jail, lost the girl of my dreams and got my butt kicked pretty good.
Still, things could be a lot worse. Oh, that's right... I'm falling to my
death. Guess they can't." which my daughter suggested. Her frog is
doing fine. Twitter trending Disney Star Trek. My contribution: Jungle Book
II: The Wraith of Shere Khan, 103 Dalmatians: The Search for Spot and Herbie
the Love Borg. The Lions are better but you sure wouldn't know it. The Earth
Two Superman came back, but he was dead and now I guess he's deader. Not
happy with that. Nothing came of this Star Wars rumor except that they went
and had a whole new set of rumors about another trilogy. You know that
George Lucas' least favorite Star Wars movie is the Empire Strikes Back?
Figures. I got the air conditioner fixed, in fact, I fixed it myself. I went
to New York last week. It was a great time. The highlight was when my sister
said that if a rainbow ends in you hand then her fiancé shows up dancing an
Irish jig. "Ay Robert." MSU should have been in a BCS bowl. This is the
first time in three years we don't have a QB named Colt. But we do have a
Dalton for the second consecutive year. Isn't that something. It isn't? I
didn't think so either. Besides it's his last name. I saw a preview for TRON:
Legacy several months ago. When Flynn's Arcade appeared on stage I think
every Dad in the place leaned over to their kids and exclaimed "It's TRON!"
and every kid looked up at them and said "What's TRON?" |
