April 7, Friday Night Lights

Lisa hosted a tailgating session of Book Soup -- replete with beer, nachos, and a football cake -- attended by 6 members. Much discussion about the book Friday Night Lights took place (!). Although it was considered well-written, most of us could have skipped the descriptions of the football games (your humble reporter excepted). Everyone was pretty much appalled at the culture of football portrayed, which led to a lot of thoughts being shared about our experiences in school. Not only were stories shared, so were pictures! Leann and Darla brought in high school yearbooks. Darla had the best show-and-tell, including buttons and other memorabilia, and a photo album of her growing up (garnered from her mother). A good time was had by all, I dare say.
