Melinda -

You were born in Lafayette and you didn't mention football as a favorite sport to watch?

Tsk...Tsk....Tsk.....

You aren't a Boilermakers fan?

It's all Purdue to the north of me, and all I.U. to the south of me. And all of us here in Indianapolis are caught in the crossfire.

I seem to get into trouble by someone no matter who I cheer for! Ah. Indiana.  Hoosier rivalry.

You gotta love it!

Aw, David, no I don't gotta love it!     Out of a sense of Hoosier duty, I'll go as far as to say...um...  'woohoo Purdue and/or I.U.', but ya can't make me watch football. YOU want me to grow up to be a MAN, don'tcha?!    Sorry!  I'd watch basketball if I had to watch some sort of Indiana ball stuff (speaking of BALL, David, why don't you just step over and root for Ball State?  Oh, yeah...no team...   heh heh... )  There's only ONE day of the year that I show my true Hoosier heritage, and that is RACE DAY.  I set my alarm so I can watch the Indianapolis 500, then afterwards I call my sister (in Lafayette) for my annual 'gloat' over the fact that I could watch the race live on TV and she can't because it is blacked out there during the race.  Just a sisterly ritual...
