Its my first week back with Stream of Consciousness Sunday - and wow, am I glad to be here. Our fearless and delightfully glorious leader, Jana at Jana'sThinkingPlace.com gave us permission today to just burp out a language rich brain dump so that, my loves, is what I did. The surprise is... it was not only entertaining to write, I engaged some ideas I hadn't thought up before that may turn into blog posts or something later. You simply must love when this happens!

I just had a lovely breakfast with a dear friend of mine who has been gone from the Bakersfield area for what, two years now? I am sad to say I don’t remember clearly, but I do remember I want to honor that complete visit with a more organized post than this brain dump brewing through my fingers.
There is football on in the background, as there was for Jana, but it annoys the hell out of me. I have no clue about football season this year and I just don’t care for the most part. I am one of those people who goes to Super Bowl parties simply for the camaraderie. I know enough about football to be able to follow the game, but I’m just not into it. Sorry, Family of Origin and your obsession with the New York Giants.
Its like how I broke up with the LA Dodgers after they were sold by the O’Malley family to a media conglomerate. To me they just weren’t the Dodgers anymore. The whole Dodger Blue culture changed for me. I no longer know anything about baseball. I think the World Series is coming, but shouldn’t that have happened by now? I mean, aren’t baseball players sometimes called “The Boys of Summer?”
I should through in some sexism talk here since all the sports I am talking about not caring about are “men’s” sports.
I might actually do a weekly Women’s Volleyball watching event with friends if there was such a thing, and there very well may be. I just don’t know because the dollar follows the popularity and I’m too busy doing artsy stuff to look up ESPN’s schedule. I should check the schedule for my local colleges, though, and watch Volleyball even though I don’t have a friend on the team simply because I have liked it ever since I moved to California and actually learned some technique. What else is a Jersey girl to do when she moves to a quintessential beach town in Southern Orange County?
What? The timer is ringing?
That was way too much fun.
I can write about my breakfast later AND I may follow up with some articles about women’s sports and how to support them even if you normally spend most of your time going to theater and Celtic Music festivals and art shows and the like.
THANK YOU, JANA and the ongoing (so grateful to be here after a busy Summer!) Stream of Consciousness Sunday!
