Dear Sunday: it's football season y'all!

Dear Sunday is my weekly post participating in the Caffeinated Book Reviewer series.

I've been so busy watchings Cubs baseball that I somehow managed to forget that while the end of August brings an increase in traffic as students flood back into town, it also brings college football! The college football season is so short as compared to the baseball season; I don't want to miss watching any games my team plays. The Cubs play like a hundred games so if you miss one, more likely than not, there will be another game the next day.

Picture on the left: My parents and I share an unusual interest in old/historic cemeteries (are we secretly the Addams family? maybe.) They are visiting me for the long weekend, and in between football games we checked out this small cemetery established in the early 1800s. It was interesting, even if most of the headstones were too corroded by time and mold to be legible.

One of my many backup careers (man that topic deserves a post of its own) is a small-town traveling historian. I would travel from town to town, collating data from all available sources to get a feel for who lived where/for how long/etc when the town was first founded. Obviously I would have to marry rich in order for this dream to come true as who in the right mind would pay a physicist to do this? (PS if you're a rich person who wants to give away money, hit me up. jk. but fo real though.)
