Well, I didn’t get a hog yesterday. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. I saw some in the woods but they were moving 90 miles an hour so I couldn’t get a good shot off. That’s all right, we’ll eat venison instead of pork chops. I did get to visit an old friend, though, something I’ve been needing to do for a while.
My friend, Greg, died last year of brain cancer. Nobody expected it. He hadn’t been sick for a long time. He just started having bad headaches and went to a doctor. When the cancer was found it was pretty big and inoperable. He tried radiation which slowed it a little but not much.
Greg lived life to the fullest. He went to the Gator games and was a Green Bay Packer fan, a cheese head. One of the pictures I have of him was him wearing a cheese head hat. When I went to visit his wife, Lisa, she gave me something to wear while I watched the game for Greg. No, it wasn’t the hat (my wife had the same thought). It was a Packers’ watch.
I am not much of a football fan. I’ll watch the game but I’m not a fanatic. To be honest, if there were cars and tires involved I’d watch every game. This year, however, I’ll be watching the game with a watch on my wrist and cheering for the Packers in Greg’s memory. I might even eat a piece of cheese or two.
Enjoy the game no matter who you cheer for! Or, sorry, Go Packers! Guess I need to start practicing now.
