Welding and Football

Quite the night for prolix! Hope you all are enjoying this!

Anyway, just a brief note. How interesting that following the Breaking O' The Ice in welding class tonight, all the guys in my class started to talk about football. Sports, of course, is the code that straight men use to discuss their values, fears, and ideals. Asking "What teams do you follow?" or "What players do you like?" are the equivalent of saying, "Tell me who you are and what's important to you."

I like that.
