how about some football

So I actually used to watch football back in the late seventies when I followed the Dallas Cowboys while I was living in Florida.

I did not see a game in person until I was with the Royals in Toronto and was given tickets to see the Argos; it was CAF Appreciation Day in, I think, 2002. It was a good game, lots of us Royals in attendance, “who let the dogs out!”, and a tee shirt launcher that never seemed to be pointed in the right direction.

Three years after being posted here to Calgary, my first football game was in October at McMahon Stadium. A business owner with season tickets gave these to my unit and I was fortunate enough to be chosen to go. These were good seats but we were outside so we had to totally bundle up to fend off the cold.

And as fate would have it the team they were to play that night was the

Toronto Argonauts!

So on with the fun, it was a great game, my new home town team won, I got to chat with some friendly fans, got a souvenir scarf and even had a glass of wine, or should I say plastic wine goblet with red wine in it to be specific.
