~Reggie Williams, when asked his greatest strengths as a football player
As you might have noticed, I love soccer. I enjoy watching basketball, baseball, and fencing. But football? Not so much.
I grew up in a college town. Every time the home team scored, they would shoot a cannon to celebrate. You could hear it far and wide. My favorite thing about football season was being somewhere other than the stadium and hearing the boom of the cannon. I enjoyed knowing that we scored without actually having to watch it.
My challenge to myself for this week: football art.

Sometimes I think I can hear that cannon from HERE!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful pieces of art. Isn't it interesting what can spark such creativity!
ReplyDeleteI remember the cannon, too, as you might have guessed (since I lived in the same town as Tabatha :-). It was an exciting sound, whether you were in the stadium or listening from afar. And I remember, not so fondly, NOT hearing it, too.
