Football is my profession now. I’m getting married in August… It’s a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had.

Some days in late August at home are like this, the air thin and eager like this, with something in it sad and nostalgic and familiar.

Is scattered on the ground – to die.

Not wholly in the busy world, nor quite
Beyond it, blooms the garden that I love.
News from the humming city comes to it
It sound of funeral or of marriage bells.
