All in the Game

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
I must admit, it’s a big week around here. The college football season begins in a big way this weekend. I resolve, as usual, not to wind up like Arlo above. I know it’s all a big racket, and I’ve certainly been critical of big-time college sports in the strip over the years, but then, doggone it, my alma mater has a year like last year. It certainly was one of the most interesting seasons ever; even non-sports fans were watching the replays and talking about the end of the Auburn-Alabama game. It’s going to be another exciting year for us, I think, but there’ll never be another last year.

    Neither husband nor myself comes from a family that is much interested in sports. The college we went to has actually discontinued it’s football program to put the money into education.

    But last year when I heard that Auburn lost, my first thought was poor Jimmy, I am so sorry that his alma mater lost.

    Good morning Villagers….

    I’ve been tricked, I think…by a certain six year old girl. Brooklynne Rose came in Saturday afternoon with a “kitteh”. She had a favor to ask Aunt Debbe. Could I kitty sit. Sure, I said. And the ‘kitteh’ is still here. My three female cats are on high alert. They’ll hiss at him, and he’ll stop, drop and not roll…..he’s on my lap right now, think we’ve made a lap kitty out of him already.

    Meryl….bewitched by “Bewitched” 🙂

    Debbe, it’s interesting to see that not all the bathing beauties pictured are women. Number 18 is Douglas Fairbanks Sr, and number 17 is a very young Neil Hamilton, who some of us fondly remember as Commissioner James Gordon from the highly campy 1966 Batman series.
