It is Saturday morning, 3 September 2022, and I am floof wrestling. Rosy and Lily are being particularly needy this morning, demanding attention, climbing up on my laptop, and being general nuisances.
Cute, needy, lovable, fluffy nuisances.
I’ll throw the little orange ball in a few moments, Lily, just give me a moment to crank out a couple hundred words.
Last night, Lisa and I went to the KU-Tennessee Tech football game. These season openers are meant to be confidence builders for struggling programs, and Kansas has been one of those struggling programs for more than ten years now. Last night should, however, instill a little confidence in the team and for the fan base that this team is really doing the work. Kansas scored on their first few possessions, sometimes in rather dramatic fashion, with effective runs, and solid passing downfield – the Kansas quarterback completed 14 of 15 passes in the first half, and that’s a solid half of football in anybody’s book.
Kansas won 56-10.
We were invited to watch the game from the “Friends of Mechanical Engineering” suite at Memorial Stadium, and that was the first time I had ever seen one of the suites. Lisa spent the entirety of the game talking with alums and administrators, and I watched the game with other interested parties, several alums, including a father and his son. I enjoyed the evening immensely, and the dean of the engineering school asked if we would ever be interested in attending more games and watching from that suite, to which I replied with an “enthusiastic “Yes1′.
I’m going to have to spend some time on the mower here after bit. I love country life, but at the same time, there’s a lot of mowing to get done. Fortunately, I have the right tools for the job, and a decent audiobook to listen to as well.
If all goes well, I’ll be back in my recliner shortly after lunch ready to watch some sports.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all
