With Fall just around the corner, I’ve been thinking and reading a lot about college football lately.

I follow a lot of the Oregon Duck football team on Twitter, and they’re all amped up about practice getting started. And they all got new iPads.

There is a lot of talk about blocking and tackling.

It makes me envious.

I’m a middle aged IT professional. There is zero chance that I will ever have a job in which tackling is even tolerated, much less encouraged.

That makes me sad.

Maybe I should have learned to box or something. I like hitting people.

This is an actual conversation that took place inside of my head. It’s a scary place. Dark and full of cobwebs. I’d advise you not to look in there. Once you see it, it can’t ever be unseen.

It’s 21:00 hours, and it’s hot. About 81 outside, and about 83 inside. As a native Oregonian of the Willamette Valley, I do not take kindly to hot weather. Just now I  opened the windows and thought:

“Men are really lucky they don’t have boobs.  Boobs are sweaty when it’s this hot out. Ick.”

…. a few seconds went by….

“Well, but men do have scrotums. That’s probably worse.  I definitely wouldn’t want to have a scrotum when it’s this hot.

I wonder if scrotums get hotter than boobs.

I’ll have to check on that later.”

 

Yeah.

Still waters.
