Watching the Clock!


     According to all of the sources I've been able to
find an hour is a measurement of time made up of
60 minutes or 3,600 seconds.
     So why does it take forever to play a high school
football game with four quarters of 12minutes each?
     I went to my grandson's high school game last
night.
    The weather was great....for the first half.
    But mid way through the second half, about an
hour and a half after my arrival, it started to rain.
    Shouldn't the game have been over by that time?
    I wanted to stay as long as possible.
    My grandson's team appeared to be winning it's
second game this season and he, even though he's a
Freshman, was getting in the game for some
playing time.
    Yes. I wanted to stay as long as possible. But
I didn't plan on spending the night!
     I started to head towards the parking lot (about a
half mile from the field) when the rain got heavy.
But a few plays later (about 10 minutes in "football
time") the rain eased up a bit so I headed back to my
seat.
     Near the field I got a close up glance of my
grandson. It was great to see dirt on his uniform!
    We scored again. But so did the opposition.
    We were on the move again when the sky seemed
to open up and I decided it was time to make my
exit.
      It looked like about 8 minutes or a little less
on the scoreboard clock as I headed out.
     I figured that, in "football time"would take
about a half hour.
     I waited for the evening news to get the final
score.
     I'm not sure exactly how long it took to play
the game. But I probably could have watched a
good part of "Gone with the Wind."
     Of course I'd rather watch my grandson
than Scarlet O'Hara any day. Even in the rain!
      And especially when, like last night, his
team comes out on top!
      Hope you get "football time" next time
you feed a parking meter...and that all of your
NEWS is good!
