Today marks the first official day of football season in the area. All of my friday nights are booked between now and approximately Thanksgiving with high school football. Unfortunately, it doesn't really end at Thanksgiving because basketball season will be underway by this time as well. Friday nights during the school year are filled with local sports action, and I will only see an occasional Friday off during holiday periods.

I do enjoy the sports action in the local high school arenas. There are about 12 high schools in the area that I'll be visiting on a weekly basis for football, basketball, tennis, soccer, softball, track, and wrestling between now and the end of May. Just as it starts to get cold outside at night on the football field, it will be over and I'll be parking my butt on the baseline of the basketball courts. I'll get to stay inside until the end of February when baseball and women's soccer crank back up...

Hopefully the 2008-09 school year will be productive for me :)
