Today is Wednesday, September 3rd, and I am 8 days post-surgery. In general, things are going well - small improvements every day, no major setbacks. Sleep has been good for a few days, and I'm getting used to the slow pace of healing.
Tomorrow marks an important day in my life. It's the anniversary of a love affair that has spanned many years and accompanied many of the most memorable times of my life. It is a love that is of the purest form. It lets me know that I'm alive.
Yes, the NFL season is finally upon us.
This season promises to be an unpredicable ride, especially since this is the first time Brett Favre has not been my team's quarterback since I was in college (now THAT'S a long time ago!). Unlike some others that have been conflicted by the Favre drama, I've always been a Packer fan first and a Favre fan second. With that being said, I'm glad that a resolution was reached before the start of the season, I'm glad that Favre found a place to play football, and I'm glad that Favre found a place to play football that doesn't include a game against the Packers for a few years. I can root for the Packers (first) and Favre (second) with a clear conscience.
For the record, here's my prediction for the season: 10-6 record, division title, loss to Dallas in the playoffs. Furthermore, the Jets (with Brett Favre) will have basically the same season - 9-7 record, wild card berth, loss to Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Hopefully I'm underestimating the talent level that the Packers have, but count me among those that are not certain that Aaron Rodgers (Favre's replacement) will play in every game this year.
Time for a haiku about football:
Glorious football;
What joy you bring to my life!
Never leave my side
And that's all that I got to say about that. Let the season begin!

I'm with Tricia on this one Jason. Maybe the meds have your brain a little cloudy yet.. :) Remember, she is taking care of you...be careful what you say!
I thought you were going to be talking about lovely tricia too! Football, really? :) I'm wondering if you want her to continue to take care of you.. ;)
I'm so happy to hear that things went well and you are healing up slowly, but surely!!
So are you going to be ready for the fall softball season or what? Without our pitcher, we have nothing.
