Football season is a wonderful time of year. Today, the air is crisp and cool. The sun is lighting up the blue sky and brightening the wispy high clouds, a beautiful background to the fading green leaves. All of the windows are open, letting the cool air and aroma of freshly cut grass waft in through the screens and permeate our home, the feel of winter pushing not far behind. Sweatshirts and blankets are the new relaxed look of the day.

My players are set in two leagues for Fantasy Football. It used to be that my husband watched football every chance he got and I would busy myself with other things. Now, I can’t wait to watch football to cheer on my fantasy football players and excitedly watch as my numbers go up and up on my matchup, while my husband enjoys one of the last nice days outside soaking in the few rays of sunshine.

This week, I am matched up against a coworker with a pretty good team. His quarterback is T. Tagovailoa, who scored 55.5 points! But, that was no match for my quarterback, K. Cousins, who scored 56.0 points! It was a virtual tie. However, I am now a total of 24 points ahead of my opponent, and he has only one player to play Monday night. I am hopeful my 24-point lead will be enough to win. He is a smack-talker, so it would be nice to shut him down.  😉
