Favorite Sports edit

Football edit
The main thing that I do in the Autumn is play football for my high school. The sport Football was invented in 1869 in several colleges in the U.S.A. [2]. football has grown exponentially since then and it is now a national sport and it is played in the National Football League which was founded on August 20, 1920 [3]. There are currently 32 teams in the NFL [4]. Currently my favorite teams are the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Giants. The teams records are 6 wins, 1 loss for the Seahawks and 1 win, 6 losses for the Giants [5] Category:football
Skiing edit
Due to the geography of the Nutmeg State that i currently live in we are approximately 2 hours from the town of Brattleboro in the Green Mountain State [6]. Because of this somewhat short distance my family and I enjoy skiing trips every weekend to the Green Mountain State which we have boon doing for the past 13 years. we go to a place called Bromley Mountain which is 3263 feet above sea level and it has 1334 feet of vertical ski trail on it. [7]. At Bromley i do this type of skiing called Telemark skiing which is basically Alpine Skiing only your heels aren't attached to the ski. [8] Category:Skiing

Here is an exerpt from page 69 of the Project Gutenberg html version of WAR AND PEACE by Leo Tolstoy
"And it must seem to you," said Boris flushing slightly, but not changing his tone or attitude, "it must seem to you that everyone is trying to get something out of the rich man?"
"So it does," thought Pierre.
"But I just wish to say, to avoid misunderstandings, that you are quite mistaken if you reckon me or my mother among such people. We are very poor, but for my own part at any rate, for the very reason that your father is rich, I don't regard myself as a relation of his, and neither I nor my mother would ever ask or take anything from him."
For a long time Pierre could not understand, but when he did, he jumped up from the sofa, seized Boris under the elbow in his quick, clumsy way, and, blushing far more than Boris, began to speak with a feeling of mingled shame and vexation.
"Well, this is strange! Do you suppose I... who could think?... I know very well..."
But Boris again interrupted him.
"I am glad I have spoken out fully. Perhaps you did not like it? You must excuse me," said he, putting Pierre at ease instead of being put at ease by him, "but I hope I have not offended you. I always make it a rule to speak out... Well, what answer am I to take? Will you come to dinner at the Rostovs'?"
And Boris, having apparently relieved himself of an onerous duty and extricated himself from an awkward situation and placed another in it, became quite pleasant again.
"No, but I say," said Pierre, calming down, "you are a wonderful fellow! What you have just said is good, very good. Of course you don't know me. We have not met for such a long time... not since we were children. You might think that I... I understand, quite understand. I could not have done it myself, I should not have had the courage, but it's splendid. I am very glad to have made your acquaintance. It's queer," he added after a pause, "that you should have suspected me!" He began to laugh. "Well, what of it! I hope we'll get better acquainted," and he pressed Boris' hand. "Do you know, I have not once been in to see the count. He has not sent for me.... I am sorry for him as a man, but what can one do?"
"And so you think Napoleon will manage to get an army across?" asked Boris with a smile.
Pierre saw that Boris wished to change the subject, and being of the same mind he began explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the Boulogne expedition.
