Football weekend

I spent the day watching football. I'm not a fan, but I've never lived so close to a stadium before, it's only 2 miles away. At the grocery store, I saw people filling their coolers with ice and beer, buying up hot dogs, beer, and more beer. 10am, chargers fans drinking beer and tossing footballs in the washington mutual parking lot. Even more chargers fans, I know because they have their jerseys on, walking along Friars road. I saw them in the restaurants, already full at midday. I felt obligated to watch a game. And so I did. I've also been to Seau's restaurant, I've driven by the stadium, and now I've seen a game. I feel like short of actually going to the game, my Chargers experience is complete. And yet the season's just begun.
