Sound: "Blind" by the Talking Heads
Dear Dad,
I hereby formally apologize for all those Sundays during which I whined and complained and begged you to change the television and/or radio channel. I apologize for all those times that I said football was boring, or stupid. I was wrong.
FOOTBALL IS FREAKING AWESOME.
I suppose this realization started to dawn on me when you bought me tickets for the Niners-Broncos NFL exhibition game in London. That was a great game. And not just because it was one of the two games the Niners won during that season.
It was exciting! The physicality! The emotion! The narrative!
Dad, I've finally seen the light. It's what I've been missing all along: football is theater. And it's really, really, really good theater. It's awesome theater.
So I'm super sorry for being a little brat when I was young and ignorant, and promise that I will totally not complain the next time you want to watch the game.
In fact, I'll probably be yelling at the television screen along with you.
Because screw those replacement refs. They can't make calls worth squat.
Love,
Morgan

Om Nom Nom Nom Veggies
Sound: I'm on a Law & Order: SVU kick. Don't judge me.
The summer session has ended, and the summer break is almost over. In a few days, the fall semester will start in full force: classes, teaching fellowship, rehearsal for The Lily's Revenge, and a couple more things I don't know about yet but I'm sure will happen.
I'll be honest; this break did not go how I planned it to. But that's fine. Change is hard, but change is ultimately good. One of the changes I'm implementing in my life right now is a devotion to healthier eating. I'm trying to up my veggie intake, lower (but, for the good of all that is holy, NOT eliminate) my meat intake, and make sure everything is still tasty. This week, I'm making a vegetarian lasagna, a mushroom and tomatillo black bean soup, and for the non-freezer area of life, a chicken and vegetable burrito filling.
Who says meals can't be quick, healthy, and homemade?
