It's almost September. I love September because everything is new again. I know I should get this feeling in January, but between being a student until I was was 22 (and for one miserable year later on), being married to a perpetual student, and having parents who are teachers, I have always operated on the school calendar instead.
This September newness can bring excitement about a variety of things, but in our house, front and center is the glorious new sports season. First football, followed by (but second to) basketball. I am aware of the long list of other sports, but here in Zogland, these two are the important ones. (Daddy Zog wishes I'd cave and include baseball in that list, but I just can't get into a sport that doesn't involve a play clock.)
Even more exciting than sports in general is college sports. For a girl who didn't grow up loving sports and didn't go to a big college, I sure do get excited when I hear the music that means ESPN Game Day is on my television. I admit that husband has officially converted me. And these days, in this house, college sports means one thing: GO TAR HEELS! Everyone in Zogland is ready and waiting for the new season of Tar Heel sports - even the littlest Zog. We are beaming with pride that he can name everyone on the '09 Championship Team, he even knows the coaches. We just need to work on his pronunciation of Ramses:

That's kind of awesome. But now James is teaching Baby J all the VT '09 football team.
