• I have great memories of watching football with my father. Last week I was fortunate enough to watch some great NFL playoff football with my son and make some lasting memories. Because of the stupid divorce, I’m robbed of watching football and making memories with my son with the NFC and AFC championship games yesterday. When it came to the divorce decree, I wasn’t able to negotiate much, but I do get the kids for every Super Bowl Sunday.
• The NFL playoffs have been fantastic, and is testimony to why I prefer it over the college game. People used to be able to argue to the like the college game because players played for the purity of the sport, but the way the landscape has changed, that’s no longer a valid argument. Some folks are upset about the difference in pass interference penalties, but one rule will not sway me one way or another. If you like bands and school pride, then go for it. But I like how the NFL unites an entire city and community rather than a select group of people who chose to attend an institution. Also, games in the pros are more competitive and you don’t have those crazy blowouts when Oklahoma decides to play North Texas.
• Some days/weekends, the divorce hurts more than others. I’d deal with it better if the marriage gradually fell apart, but her darting off and alienating the kids from me was totally unexpected and such a shock to the system.
• My date on Friday night was pretty meh. I have a feeling a lot of them are going to be like this. You like each other on an app, and messages back and forth for a while. Then, you decide to meet only to realize you don’t click and never message or meet one another again. I guess meeting up is better than staying home by myself on a Friday night.
• I used to tell people how thankful I was marrying when I did, as I just avoided the start of dating apps and couldn’t imagine what it would be like to have to use those things. Now, I’m eating humble pie.
