#Readathon: Shel's Sixth Update

Since we're having a beautiful day here in C-bus, I decided to take this readathon outside.  It was nice and pleasant.  But then some amateurish football players decided to play catch right beside where I was reading.  This added a sense of danger to my reading since these guys were VERY amateurish and couldn't really catch the football.  (Although, they seemed to have fun jumping for the ball, making manly grunting noises and watching as the ball flew by several feet above their outstretched arms.)


When the tension of whether or not the football would hit my head at the next toss became too great, I headed for home.  One of the guys asked me if I wanted to play with them.


Ummm, no.


I've thrown a football once in my life.  It did not go in the direction I was aiming.  And the experience ended with me apologizing several times to a couple of people.  That is all I will say about that.


Then, one of the guys suggested I cheerlead for them.


Ummm, also no.  


I didn't say it, but I greatly prefer people who cheerlead for readers to the type who encourage amateurish football players who they've never met before.


So, thanks to all you cheerleaders out there.  It is with you in mind that I returned to the safety of the indoors.
