I went to a 49ers game with my brother
leperclan and my good friend
nnooiissee where we were subjected to sunlight, and cheering fans and some sad cheerleading by the niners squad called "Gold Rush". People's enthusiasm was charming and perhaps a little overzealous in its expression. When I say overzealous, I mean potentially violent. I'm glad I wasn't wearing a Detroit Lions Jersey. Those that were were pretty ballsy. I guess I'd never known how strong team rivalries go. I'm a Santa Cruz native after all and sports were never a part of how I related to the rest of the world. At one point when riding a bus full of passengers on a Superbowl Sunday, it was somehow revealed that the major national sports event was occurring. Nobody could tell what teams were even playing. Not one person of a full busload of people had any idea or care. We got Ave a sports Jersey from one of the greats of the San Francisco hey day of football. Jerry Rice. I was surprised at how much the game reminded me of my bookish roots, cause the first thing I thought was.... this is like quiddich!
The Aunt Dimity mysteries are such light and lovely fun and I can't wait to read more of them. Nick's Birthday was lovely, and you all are amazing. It gives me more excuses to wear one of my best colors...: red. Next time I'll paint my head and everything.
