Our nonegenarian stated an interest in watching a certain football game that she and Dad always looked at every year, as my beloved brother went to one of the rival schools. If things weren't going well for his team by halftime or into the third quarter, my dad would declare the game over, and walk off in disgust. He would have done so during this year's contest, undoubtedly. Mother and I chuckled over the memory.
