This post is not directly about Notre Dame football, although after last night, the title certainly applies. I'm not yet at the point where I can talk about last night's game without using very colorful language. Consequently, since family and children have access to this blog, I think it is best to refrain from such a post.
No, this post is all about Notre Dame's awesome ad campaign during football season which asks "What would you fight for?" It really is great to hear about ND alums out changing the world and really making a difference, really. I'm glad I'm part of a community where people are trying to make this world a better place. It just makes me feel really worthless when all I do all day long is draft foreclosure paperwork and try to collect debts. The mister and I even wonder at the start of each game, how we're going to be feel bad about ourselves THIS week.
The funny thing is that when we were in South Bend last week, we met up with friends who have the same thoughts about this ad campaign. What's funny is that these friends are so not underachievers. G and P are people who I really respect and who I think ARE making the world a better place. If even they think they are underachieving, what hope do the mister and I have? Or maybe none of us are underachieving. That's the message I prefer.

That is so sweet of you Katie. Even hanging out in an old classroom and driving around in traffic in the dark was fun with you guys. We're sorry we had to leave you on the side of the road. Let's do better next year. And hope the team does too.
To anyone else who is reading this--Gabe and Pam tried to drive us back to the parish center after the game so we didn't have to walk. Unfortunately with the way traffic was being routed they couldn't get all the way so they dropped us off as close as they could get. They didn't just dump us somewhere!
Pam--we love any time we get to see you guys and wish it was more often! The team was just extending the game since they knew you guys aren't able to go to games often and they wanted to make sure you had the full experience. Or something like that. This may be a long season...
