saturday...

Today turned into another disappointment on many levels... Mostly nostalgic disappointments. Attended what I know know was the last football game of my alma mater. It was one of those where I felt like i might get choked up for a second. The rush of standing in the stadium surrounded by thousands of other fans - communally supporting our team, our school, our pride, our legacy. It wafted and swirled like a palpable breeze.

And we lost. With a new coaching staff, there was tangible hope that the Tigers would make a complete turnaround, take the win, and lead Dabo into a victorious rest of the season. No such luck. With a valiant fight, although, the Tigers were unable to take hold and surmount above the GA Tech Jackets.... A shame. Hope remains, but most definitely somewhat defeated, dilapidated, dingy.

And everything else. But you know what? It's a lovely fall Saturday. The sun was shining for the majority of the day. The weather is beautiful. I have the whole day off from work, I'm spending time with good friends...and I'm perfectly happy.
