Football...
As some other blog somewhere recently noted, it is football season. I like the start of the season because it means the most beautiful season, Fall, is upon us and I do enjoy watching the college season unfolding. But I've grown to appreciate high school ball more over the years as the Pro's have become more, well Pro, and the college games have become, once again, more Pro. High School boils the game down to a more simple philosophy and here in Midland, anyway, almost any kid can suit up and be a member of the team, some getting small playing time for sure, but on the team none the less, which is supposed to be the purpose of a "game" for teenagers.
This year it will be exciting for me to be a Midland High Bulldog fan. I will get to be upclose and personal at many of the games, on the sidelines close. I have become the new maintainer/photo person of the Midland High Football website operated by the MHS Football Boosters. I was chosen for the job after an arduous selection and screening process over many months, beating out numerous other applicants.
Well, not quite, I was roped into doing the job by my friend Mike P. and his wife Martha who are the Presidents of the booster club this year. Anyway, it pays a small stipend and I do get to sideline the games and shoot photos which should be fun. The site is being upgraded and updated. If you're a Bulldog fan check it out, we plan on having many more pictures, some up already.
