Fair Weather Sports Fan

I ventured to Waco last weekend anticipating attending the Baylor vs Kent State football game. I promised my daughter that I would attend a football game with her this year.

Kris and I made our HEB trip on Friday so that we would have that chore out of the way. Saturday morning found us "wogging" the Bear Trail which is 2-1/2 miles. We ventured around campus for another hour which brought our total mileage to over 4 miles. We felt we had earned a trip to IHOP for brunch. After that, we motored to a strip mall with the idea of looking at rugs at Ashley's. Have you been to an Ashley's store lately? OMG --- do people really pay $500-$800 for a 10' x 12' rug?

With only time to kill, we ended up cruising through Pier One (where I bought a bag that was originally priced for $15 and marked down to $4 -- it's a deal!). On to Bed, Bath and Beyond and then to Marshall's. And then the rain hit. Kickoff inched closer and the rain kept falling. About 45 minutes before the game started I told Kris that I was obviously not a true blue Baylor Bear fan because I was not going to stand in rain and watch a college football game. We agreed that ordering a pizza for supper was the best way to sooth our disappointment for not going to the game. We located the game on the tv and probably had the best seats in the house.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am a fair weather sports fan. And so I am planning another trip to Waco in the near future to watch a football game. Love the rain but hope the skies are clear on my next trip to Waco.
