Saints

Aggh...that was awful! How can a team expect to win a game if it gives away 9 points straight off, on three separate fumbles? It's lucky the Saints weren't down 30 to nothing at the half...not that it mattered in the end. Not that the Bears are in, I'm not sure whom I should be for in the Super Bowl...the Patriots/Colts or the Bears? I might go for the Bears, since they won their game fair and square and since one of my faithful friends is a rabid Bears fan. And I lived in Chicago for 10 years, too, longer than I've lived here in Boston.

Saints vs. Bears

I had a dream last night about the NFC Division Title game this weekend: the final score was Saints 14 | Bears 7. I can only hope!

• I think a Rusty Nail drink (Scotch whisky and Drambuie liqueur) tastes awful when cold. Well, still drinkable, but weird.
• I know I'm old when I remember that my seventh-grade year (1977) was going to be the first year in Tennessee that women played full-court basketball, instead of the half-court basketball my mother played while growing up.
• Why is it that football teams, like the University of Southern Mississippi and the New Orleans Saints, do really well against tough teams, like Florida State and the Dallas Cowboys, but then crap out against less-successfull teams like Southeast Louisiana State University and the Washingston Redskins, for example?
  

Matilda's day 2

Matilda is the most guileless animal I've ever encountered! Hmm, but she doesn't like dill pickles, so so much for that as a potential snack for her. Matilda doesn't eat a lot, particularly, or beg for food, so I imagine she's gotten used to eating low-quality, high-calorie food. With better food and more exercise we're hoping to have her in fighting trim before too terribly long! A trim in the next couple of days to a local veterinarian will get her and us working together on whatever plan is necessary to make her elderly years as pleasant and comfortable as possible!

Hey, and the New Orleans Saints won the NFC South division. Way to go!

Go Saints!

They're playing the San Francisco 49ers today.
