It’s the week of Christmas … or, it’s the last week of December for you. Either way, I hope you have a great week. You won’t find any posts here this week – but check back next week, eh?
You’re Still Here?

Note to Self: Be Rational

I’m writing this the day after the Army-Navy game, which is the game that causes me the most tension every year (maybe if one of my NFL teams made it to the Super Bowl I might feel the same … but I doubt it).
My dad went to West Point, so Army-Navy has been a feature of my life, and while Army is now on a 3 game win streak (WHOOO!) Navy had ripped off 14 in a row, winning from 2002 – 2015. That’s a fair chunk of time, and so, so many of those were absolute heartbreakers (as is the case for Navy now). It seems no matter how good one team does in the season, the other team will be right there with them for this game.
On the morning of the Army-Navy game I took a shower and while I was in the shower I began thinking about what I should wear that day. Should I wear my Army shirt? Wait. Did I wear it last year? What did I wear last year? Should I repeat that outfit?
I kept having to repeat myself that my actions have no bearing on the game. Seriously. It’s ridiculous.
But, perhaps not dressing a particular way for the game is what helped Army win so …
P.S. The obligatory and happily said – GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!

Dear Ellen,
This year I’ve secretly been telling people ‘Mary Christmas’ because this girl I know, named Mary, likes bringing home-baked cookies to work so I hope that … aw crap, just remembered her name is actually Joan.
Sincerely,
