What does a Jazz Family do during the unending days until the season starts? As soon as the fall leaves arrive, we are anxious for basketball. We aren’t as ‘un-baseball’ as some fellow bloggers but, aside from the World Series, baseball just doesn’t cut it at our house.

Now football, that is a controversy in and of itself! My husband likes to watch football, but gets annoyed with the questions from the younger two girls about what the heck is going on! I need to clarify that my oldest daughter (14), demands that I state that she loves watching football and she does understand it. I am under strict orders from her that I don’t make our family sound ‘too girly-girl’. Which, if you knew us, we are definitely not! Teenagers!? The closest we get to ‘girly-girl’ is the 8 year old who likes to wear dresses and skirts but HATES to have her hair curly. Definitely NOT a topic for a Jazz Blog.

To kill time, we play basketball outside and discuss (argue) about what kind of a season the Jazz are going to have this year. I have to admit, with recent events the Jazz season is looking a little shaky to me. My husband says it’s all part of the pre-season drama, designed to attract more fans. But the three girls remain strongly adamant that this season will rival last years and be just as exciting. Any votes on who is right??

Now, we could get the fall yardwork done, wash some outside windows, spray for spiders or Box Elder Bugs or both? But, instead we watch a little football, play a little basketball and discuss dreams for the future season. Can’t wait for tip off!!!
