We had friends over to watch my Tigers win yet again. There was lots of drinking going on. It was Saturday and we were watching football...how do you do it? As usual, when a presidential election approaches, politics became a topic of the evening.
Anyhow, naturally as of late, the conversation turned into a bash of Sarah Palin. I am not sure there has been an easier candidate to make fun of in the history of politics. And this is saying a lot!
One of my friends was not in the mood for political yak and asked if we could please not talk politics? It dawned on me, and I mentioned aloud, "We're not talking politics, we're talking about Palin."

Football Haikus
Football is almost here
A wonderful time for me
I smile quite big
Run, hit, catch, score
I scream and yell at the TV
Heart pumping too fast
I love LSU and the Saints
Best football teams ever
I love them
National Championship
Superbowl coming
LSU and Saints rule

The Power of LSU
I love being reminded what it is like to be a Louisiana State University Fighting Tiger. What it means is that you have a friend no matter where you go.
I was just taking a walk around my office building in Times Square to help wake up a little (had a long and exhausting weekend that included too much alcohol, not enough sleep and some really bad golf). As I get close to the door of my building, I see a man wearing an LSU shirt and hat. As I usually do when I see someone dawning this garb, I say "Go Tigers!"
More often than not, my simple greeting of camaraderie and understanding is returned with a smile and then a conversation with a total stranger. They are strangers only for a moment. The LSU connection brands you as life long friends from that point on.
This time was no different. The nice man was here on vacation from Lafayette, La. and was more than happy to talk about Louisiana and LSU sports. It's easy when your football team is reigning National Football Champions and the baseball team just won their regional with their 23rd straight victory, an NCAA record.
It basically makes me happy to know I am part of something so big and comforting. LSU is steeped in tradition and loyalty. Southerners are a very friendly group in general, but Tiger fans take it a little further. I am thrilled and thankful to be a part of it.
