Imagery

Last night Ryan and I watched the national title game. Erika was sitting on the couch; I knew she would not last long. Trying to spark a modicum of interest I told her that this game was in Pasadena, California (which means nothing to her) and that our friend Chuck (a UT fan) was there.

“Really? Wait. Is this ‘live’?”

“Yes” I answered

“So this is happening exactly now?”

I pointed out that there was likely a 3 or 4 second delay, at least, to bounce the image to a satellite and back to Texas but mostly to give the TV men time to react if they didn’t want to show something, like if a streaker jumped out of the stands.

“Like Chuck?” she asked.

Ryan’s hands flew to his temples. ”Don’t get an image. Don’t get an image.” Then he gave us a sarcastic, “Thank a lot guys!”

Did you see the streaker in the 4th? How coincidental.

I didn't. But I don't think it was my friend, even though he must have been distraught when Colt went down.
