I’m a leaf raker, and a good one to. Been raking leaves for most of my 67 years. No, I did not go to the game. But, I’ve been to so many games that date all the way back to old Archibald, that I should have a statue of me at the main entrance way to the Dome.
Yup, I raked my leaves while smoking my pipe. I raked before the Florida State game, then watched the game on TV, and then after the game I raked some more. I love the smell of Autumn. I love the smell of the fallen leaves, and the pine trees that surround my yard.
Raking leaves is therapeutic. Heck, it’s great exercise to. And I tell ya, I can rake with the best of them. Why I can out rake my neighbor, and he’s 30 years younger than I am. My yards bigger than his to.
Nope, I wasn’t at the dome for the Florida State game. As a matter of fact, I haven’t been to the Dome for a game in the past three years. But this old, leaf raker knows more about SU sports than most. I’m an orange junkie. When I was in the hospital for an operation I told the doctor. “If I need blood, please make it orange.”
Yup, I’m a leaf raker and proud of it. Forgive me for not being at the Dome for the Florida State game.
