Vol. James No. Bond
Pre-season football is here but the REAL season begins on September 9th with Seattle Seachickens (all right, Seahawks, but since I'm from S.F. we simply have to make as much fun of their name as we can) versus the New England Patriots, home of the GOAT.
On September 10th the 49ers play the L.A. Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Can you begin to imagine the jet lag? It takes at least two days to reboot brain and body, both directions. And this is without alcohol. On the other hand, with alcohol, you tend to care less about seeing the Sydney Opera House.
I had to tell my suitcase we weren't going to see the 49ers play in Australia and now I'm dealing with emotional baggage.
Our annual football contest begins with the September 9th game, so come to Facebook.com/catherinecoulterbooks and join in the fun. Prizes awarded after the Superbowl to the winners. And guess what the prizes are? They're fantastic, trust me. And the big plus? There's no charge to play. I'll explain the rules a couple of times on Facebook. You don't know anything about football and could care less? Not a problem, it'll still be fun and you'll see how lucky you are.
August is the perfect month to have family over and barbeque. Do you know why James Bond loves to barbeque? He has a license to grill.
You can stop drinking, the kids are going back to school. Do not feel guilty to be as excited as they hopefully are.
Happy rest of Summer and back-to-school day -
Catherine Coulter
