I am a refined guy. I like the refined sports -- not the bare-knuckles and hard-hitting bruiser sports like football, rugby and boxing. Give me a splendid walk on Croasdaile golf course, the back-and-forth of tennis or the cerebral aspects of baseball.
But I must say that the mind's images of the sights, sounds and smells of fall football are pretty intense. I was eager to see NC State play South Carolina last night. I am eager to go to the Duke opening football game against Richmond and I was even invited to go to the Carolina game this weekend.
This all reminds me of why my wife and I chose to move to Durham, North Carolina 30 years ago. The spring and fall around here are incredible. Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Cary, etc. are amazing places to raise your children and send them to public (or private) schools.
The nights are getting crisp and the start of football season creates great anticipation, for the fun of the sports and for the weather to come.
