'Tis the season

Well, we got our first snowfall in Lincoln today which got me thinking about what season is the best.

Winter of course has all the big holidays and football playoffs, basketball and hockey, but it also makes you freeze your balls off when you go to get your mail. It also makes it twice as hard to get somewhere driving b/c of the snow and ice. So obviously winter is not the best. And it gets dark at about 5:00.

Summer- Oh, those hot summer nights. Actually, once you get done with school summer becomes kind of annoying. I like playing softball and watching major league baseball and dominating fantasy baseball with my infinate sports wisdom. But, you sweat your balls off when you go to get your mail.

Spring- Hope springs eternal. And spring really is awesome. It's got the best part of the sports year with the NCAA Tourney and baseball starting. Who knows who might break a record any given year? Or who will get busted next year with the new stringent steroids policy? In fact, there isn't much to complain about spring except you might get your balls soaked with all the April showers when getting the mail.

Fall- Well we've come to our final season. Again when you are in school, fall kind of sucks b/c it means the start of a whole new year. Although some of us had the pleasure of going to an awesome school that enriched us and helped us grow into mature, intelligent individuals. So that was never an issue. Then you've the the baseball playoffs and the start of football where patrons go to see games dressed like this. Wow. Additionally, the weather is generally mild and pleasant (I realize winter doesn't really start until late December, but come on, nobody recognizes fall past maybe mid-november). The scenery is nice with the leaves turning all kinds of colors, and fantasy dominance is still realized with fantasy football.
Then there's a little thing called the beginning of bowling season. Sure the league only lasts 34 weeks, which probably spans three season in itself, but nothing like starting fresh. I love me some me is going to do big things in 05-06.

So, there you have it. Each season has its fine qualities, but fall takes the cake (plus my birthday is in fall). Looks like I have nine whole months until my balls can be unfettered while getting the mail.
