CHAMPIONSHIP BLOWOUT

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

Saturday we made the mistake of going over to the west side of town. It seemed that everybody in the state of Ohio had descended on the area. The Ohio State football team came to town ranked as number one in the nation. The Florida Gators had come in ranked as number two in the nation. Last night they played for the national championship.

IT WAS A BLOWOUT FOR FLORIDA. ALL OF THOSE FOLKS FROM OHIO WENT HOME FEELING SAD.

I feel bad for the losers. I wish everybody could win but that just isn’t the way the game is played.

In the scheme of things I guess it’s good to lose occasionally. It helps to put things in their proper perspective. The morning news brought word of a terrible fire that roared through Malibu, California burning many homes worth millions of dollars. One man being interviewed said that it was a big loss but nothing compared to some more important things. Last year he lost his daughter!
