That's about it for me -- except it didn't make a "fan" out of me. When DD hung up her flute and baton and DS hung up is drumsticks, I quit going to football games. Then when DGS started playing, I thought I'd give it another try, but that didn't work. I just couldn't see my "baby" getting knocked around like that. So no more football games for me. Occasionally I'll "watch" (be in the same room) a Saints or LSU game, but mostly I go to the sewing room or nextdoor to visit my mom.
I do love ice skating and events like the Olympics.
