I can&#8217;t eat spicy foods, peanut butter and I have a deep hatred for each other, can&#8217;t stand driving. Another thing that may come as a surprise is, I entered a college bowl football pool.</p>
<p>Oh yes, I did.</p>
<p>Now, I enjoy college football a lot, but I don&#8217;t really know anything about statistics or odds or even players&#8217; positions. It&#8217;s a mad scramble for an egg-shaped object that results in rather funny dances at the endzone. So, how did I go about selecting the picks for the pool? The only way I know how: I picked based on colors and mascots.</p>

<p>Now, this is not to say that girls have no clue about football. But I remember when I was young I would pick out a favorite anything by its color. And my girls sometimes do that, too. I call it the girlie way because that&#8217;s what it is, and I&#8217;m not one for being politically correct.</p>
<p>Besides, currently I am in second place, and only one point away from a tie, so I must be doing something right  😉</p>
