Nu, Why Do I Go To Football Games?

Most of you must know that I go to football games, Jerusalem "Big Blue" Lions, yes American tackle football, like in the USA but here in Israel. 

Like many in my family, I'm not a spectator by nature. My father didn't watch sports on television or anyplace. Once his cousin's husband got him to take my brother to a baseball game along with him and his two sons. That was the first and last time he did it. In high school there was a time I went to the school basketball games which are so fast moving that I didn't feel like I was sitting still. I was jumping up cheering and moving all the time.

I do that at the football games. I keep moving. There are three reasons for that:

1. It's too cold to just sit, even if Mishor Adumim, which is warmer than Shiloh.
2. The seats are too far from the action. I'm allowed to stand behind the players who aren't on the field. We all follow the action by foot.
3. I like to move/walk. My phone's pedometer aka "WalkLogger" shows that I get a lot of walking done during the games, which is good for me. 

You must know the real reason I go to the games. It's a good way to see some of my children. At most of the games a majority of my kids are there, and that is the best reason of all!!

Fitness Starts Young, Bicycles

Yesterday when I was walking down the hill to Shiloh Hakeduma, Tel Shiloh I swa this lovely sight.

Yes, it's so nice to see all those bicycles. It makes sense for the kids to store/park their bikes there, because the houses on that side of thee road, actually both sides, need to be accessed by a long flight of stairs. This way the kids can ride their bicycles without having to schlep them down the stairs, which can be dangerous besides annoying.

And then when I got down to the Shiloh Hakeduma tourist site I found a bicycle parked right under the sign which has a map.

And one of the featured attractions is a bicycle path.
