Redact It

I have to redact my earlier statement. It turns out I was given bad information, and my brother actually is cheering for the Saints! Thank you, Jim! I shall hereby redact the part about breaking your quarterback and making him cry.

Who Dat?

Ah, the big day is here! We're pretty excited in this little corner of Buffalo, that for today shall be known as Storyville. In case you don't know, Maddie is a HUGE Saints fan.



Oh course, Rob is a Saints fan from way back in 1983, and I admit that I have been reborn a Saints fan, a convert for 4 years now.

Now, we have been informed that a certain brother of mine is cheering for Indy. We just think that's sad. Just because the Saints broke your quarterback and made him cry doesn't mean that you can't forgive and forget. Um, yeah and by the way, your boy Peyton is a born and bred Louisianan. Just ask Rob's sister Natalie -- she has a personal connection.

Oh yeah, and as one of my Tulane friends pointed out... The Who are playing at half-time. Coincidence? I think not. Who Dat?!?

Today is my favorite day of the week. Saturday is the only day when both Rob and I have off. Usually that means it becomes a mess of errands -- people to see, places to go, and groceries to buy. But today I honestly cannot think of a single thing we need to do.

On Rob's day off, he lets me sleep in. So this morning when I got up, I walked down the hallway to see Maddie standing there waiting for me. Jumping. What a nice surprise.

So today we'll be playing.

Decisions, Decisions

You know what I've learned in life? Decisions are hard. And now, Maddie knows the same thing.
