I love football. Canadian football. Last night, B and I took the parents to the Esks' first pre-season game against our beloved Roughriders. Spending a few hours draped in green and a blanket, sipping beer from a plastic cup, shouting to "just run faster", and wincing when someone gets hit really hard makes me ridiculously happy. The stress of the world melted away as the wind whipped my hair and B's arm around me kept away the chill. The view from our seats for the season was perfect, the amount of periphenalia you could purchase was ridiculous, and a glance to the boy beside me kept me warm from the inside-out.
It's going to be a great season. Even though we have to cheer for the Eskimos.

Thanks for the awesome birthday present! Love you.
The Eskimos are the Enlightened Savage's favourite football team.
We'd be happy to accept another fan into the fold - even if she DOES come from a "Rider background". ;)
