Two entire football leagues are playing all at once and I'm able to watch it. We've already seen the last regular match of the Championship and now we're watching all of the lower leagues with some of them trying to make their way up to the next league. There is a lot of information and I'm soaking it up, looking at the small towns, and wondering if there is a place for me in any of them.
What would it be like to stay in a place like Charlottesville? Getting out more often would be good but I do worry about doing too much of that. I begin to lose track of what I say to people and it's not written down and I don't know if I trust going off book.
Northampton goes one up over Plymouth. Then Stevenage vs Wigan. Luton goes up one nil over Bolton.
I can stay here and I can learn more about there. Every place there has a local government and I can begin my studies from afar. Is there a place connected to Charlottesville? Can I use my current perch to try to do something interesting?
Northampton has a Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday. Their football team is now up to 2-0 over Plymouth. Someone wants to convert the Bat and Wickets pub to a residential complex with eight units. Logan McLeod has the story in the Northampton Chronicle as well and also reported its closure.

Crewe plays Cambridge United and the announcer rhymes the first syllable of the latter with ham. There aren't as many people in the stands there as in some of the other place.
Notts County is the oldest professional football club in the world, we're told and that seems to check out. Formed in 1862, they're up one over Bristol Rovers. All of these fascinating possibilities to study and places to learn about and Bradford scores one up over Exeter, Exeter likely going down to League Two which is the fourth tier.
I look at the hillsides and remember being in Berkhamsted looking up into the hills and feeling like I'd fallen into a dream. Luton was close by on the other side and I have a memory of driving around the area on a last day there and wanting so much to be able to stay there but having to leave to come back to a country I never quite felt home.
Plymouth gets one back and I wonder what it would be like to be there, and to get know a place. I take that energy and apply it to this place, working seven days a week now to try to stay ahead but I'm not sure I can do it forever but even just this little bit of virtual travel in the United Kingdom helps a little but it's not the same.
Harrogate Town and Barnet are tied 1-1 at Exercise Stadium, also known as Wetherby Road. As many as 5,000 people can attend.
There's too much information. I must winnow it down somehow and that is what I must do by ending this entry.
