Sports ball

Yesterday in a strange turn of events, I made the uncharacteristic decision to go to a professional football game. Granted it was a preseason game and the tickets were pretty cheap and I went with 3 other people from the office, but professional football it was! 

We drove to the Arizona Cardinals game against the Denver Broncos, skipping through traffic and giggling about professors and students along the way. Eventually we were close enough to the stadium that we stopped to eat. Where else? But a nearly deserted and yet still fabulous Waffle House. So over breakfast food, we noshed and drank coffee causing an utter disturbance to the staff because there were no other patrons. None the less, it was delicious in the way that you should be ashamed, but really aren't. 

Eventually we made it to the stadium, frolicking in the parking lot briefly, then joining the other extreme sports fans in the nose bleed section. We cheered adamantly about something though none of us were really paying attention to the actual game. At one point we were so adamant in our cheering sportness, the woman sitting in front of us left. She never came back. 

The Cardinals won, though I couldn't come close to giving you a play by play of how that happened. None the less, even boring (or events not particularly aligned with my interests) can be made fun through hanging out with the right crew. Thanks friends for laughing at the sports ball with me.
