Well, football season has officially started and it's Karston's first football experience. Valerie, being a huge Washington Redskins fan, is trying to convince me that she is going to instill her diehard fanaticism on Karston. I don't personally have a "team" that I root for but it's painful for me to ever want to willingly root for the Redskins because they are so awful.

Nevertheless, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take this 'classic' picture of Karston. I guess it is a fitting outfit for him since he was born during the middle of this year's Season Opener, which ironically was the Washington Redskins versus the New York Giants.

Tonight Valerie and I went to watch the Washington Redskins host the Buffalo Bills in a preseason NFL contest.

Our real estate agent, Ed Pagett, was kind enough to give us his season tickets for the game.

If you know Valerie that well, you know that she is a die hard Redskins fan. Some of her weeks are determined by how they play that Sunday.

I for one am not a die hard fan of any NFL team, as I grew up in Southern California where both the Rams and Raiders deserted us.

When I married into her family they tried to convert me to a Redskins fan, but let's just say that the Redskins strategies and game plans and I don't get along. So it has been hard to be a loyal fan of a team that week in and week out disappoints my wife and brings heartache year after year.

But I sort of pull for them in the hopes that they will win so my wife will be happy.

Tonight's preseason game was average at best, but her Redskins won 17-14 and that makes her happy.

Here are two photos of her and our child sporting their collective #47 Chris Cooley jersey:
