On a lighter note, I discovered yesterday that Allyson had hidden all of my sports related hats. I love my hats. They cover my bald spot. They show my pride, they are my indelible marks of my allegiance. I collect them from minor league teams I've visited and from championships won. I had like 20 of these things. Yesterday, I had a choice of two hats. TWO! A "Longs Peak" hat I bought one day when I had forgotten a hat before a trip to the mountains and a Saving Earth hat I bought at the Cal Academy of Sciences.
You have no idea the despair I felt. For the first time, I felt like something had been ripped out of me over this whole sports-celibacy fiasco. I miss my hats. My Potomac Cannons hat. The Minnesota Wild hat I bought to piss off Avs fans when they lost to the Wild as an 8 seed a few years ago. My Penguins hats, GAAAAH! Why this of all things is pushing me over the edge, I don't know. But this one hurts the sports fan in me.
I get this sinking feeling she probably stole my Steelers tie too...
My journey as an avid Pittsburgh and Penn State sports fan who has taken a vow of "sports-celibacy" for the next year. This is my journal of the changes in my life, and my observations of the sports-addicted world around me.
