Incomplete

Obviously, Allen is going to miss this catch--but that's okay, for several reasons. First, he's showing good hustle. Second, he doesn't have to make his living playing football. Third, there's no brick wall or gutterfull of broken glass anywhere near the spot where his shirtless body is about to yield to the rule of gravity. (As opposed to the circumstances surrounding an undocumented catch a few minutes later.) And finally, the sky is blue, the grass is young and green, the redbud tree is red with bloom--on a day like this,  getting outside in the yard, in the sun, throwing a football around-this might be about as good as it gets for a spring afternoon.

A spring afternoon?

It's October... Football season...

This is a little complicated. 

1. The picture was taken in the spring of 2007, in Pennsylvania.
2. October is the fall of the year in Pennsylvania and most other places in the northern hemisphere. But it is possible to get a little too hemisphere-centric about these things.
3. Some people on this Good Morning list live in a completely different hemisphere where October is springtime! Spring is busting out in their neighborhood as you read this! I'll prove it to you tomorrow. 
4. In the meantime, back to football: (a) Deering High School Rams are undefeated. (b) Alabama Crimson Tide is ranked #2 in the nation, though they didn't play like that against Kentucky yesterday. (c) Navy beat a team ranked in the top 20, for the first time in a million years. (d) The Patriots could be doing worse.
