Grasshopper No.5 is going camping! Not just any camping. This is “tent city” camping with sleeping bags, heavy duty rain gear and canoes. Really? Really! I thought I taught all Grasshoppers that Holiday Inn looks pretty good at night. It has showers, TV and internet access devices. Holiday Inns do not have critters wandering around or bugs that bite. Holiday Inns have bath rooms and air conditioning. Why do we go camping? To share experiences. To get back to nature. To get back to our “roots”. I hope Grasshopper No.5 takes a compass.
The Sheboygan football programs got underway last evening. Wouldn’t you know it was the hottest day of the year. Grasshopper No.4 is again coaching two teams. One is as assistant coach of the High School JV team and the other is as coach of son Tommy’s Youth football team. Tommy is 5’10” tall and only 13. He ought to be able to knock a few opponents on their a–. Grandson Dominic will be on the Sheboygan Varsity football team for the first time. I know he can “squat” 410 pounds. Dominic also should be able to knock somebody on their a–.
When I was in high school (yeah, there was a time), football started in mid-August. There were no “off-season” conditioning programs. There were 2-3 weeks of physical conditioning and then an 8 game league schedule. And then, the season was over. Everybody had fun. Somehow we’ve taken this school extra-cirrular program and turned it into a year long endeavor. Are we having fun yet?
What is fantasy football?
