as i hover unseen in these ancient halls, my ethereal voice ready to whisper to the living, i find myself drawn to the spirited cheers that echo when the football season is about to kick off again. it is a time of joy i cannot disparage, for even in my spectral form, i sense the excitement that builds with every announcement. the living, predispositioned as they are to seek joy in such gatherings, often make their plans unannounced, adding an air of mystery and spontaneity that, in my many years, continues to delight.
