Hello…Hello…Hello…

Fear not fans of 3rd and Pitta. I now make my triumphant return to this wonderful forum that is the internet. I do apologize for the inconvenience that befell each one of you admirable followers. I know what you’re thinking…He couldn’t take the loss to TCU, or he’s jumped ship on the Max Hall era, or he’s run out of things to say. The answers to these are nay, nay, and nay. Oh contraire, I stand by the Cougars despite any horrid happenings that may have occurred in the preceding weeks.

This is the part where I would talk about the all-around lassoing (terrible pun, I know) of the Wyoming Cowboys. But, it just so happens that I didn’t watch that game for I was in the far reaches of space, AKA Rexburg, Idaho, and had no cable television. That, in itself, was strange because we were so very close to Rigby, Idaho. And for anyone of you who have met a native of Rigby, you know that it is the birthplace of television.

Please forgive my following tirade about these people who feel obligated to state the same boring fact about their hometown every time they introduce themselves to someone as if we wouldn’t be impressed otherwise. (Because we probably wouldn’t)

Hi, I’m John from Rigby, ID – the birthplace of television
Hi, I’m Steve from Fillmore, UT – the first capital of Utah
Hi, I’m Gary from Hope, AR – Home of Bill Clinton (Okay so maybe people don’t say that last one as much for fear of being scorned, but you get the point)

Who do these people think they are? I think we could all do without it, though I will say thank you to all those in Rigby who share their spoils so abundantly with the rest of us common folk.

So, despite how hectic my life may become in the coming weeks, I vow to write on this blog at least a few more times. Stay tuned!
