55 - It is upon us

Hypnotically entranced before the sacred alter, 
he murmured in a slow inaudible tone. 
He rocked in a rhythmic pattern 
as family members leaned in 
to try to make sense 
of what they perceived 
as a meticulous mantra. 
Finally someone said, 
“Would you please 
step away from the television? 
College football season doesn’t start until Saturday.”

Ha..ha.. that time of the year again.

Thankfully no one here is a fan of that sport.

Happy friday!

I loved the rocking in rhythmic pattern--this usually precedes the cusswords in rhythmic pattern. Your clown on the golf cart was pretty rockin too--no shock there on the attire--I've seen some of em dressed in clothes that would be over the top on Bozo.

I was sure you were watching Big Brother and the mantra was "Would someone please kick Shelley off already!"
But college football. Works too.

Wow, a year goes fast.

I was thinking this was about a groom at the altar. And I guess in a way it is -- married to the sport. :)
