Though this blog is mainly about getting out there and experiencing New Orleans in all it's splendor, sometimes you just feel like staying home. And watching some football!
Today we had our very first (and I don't mean first-for-New-Orleans, I mean ever) football get-together at our house. It was great. A few friends from Dustin's work came by and we watched the Saints go head-to-head with the St. Louis Rams. Black & Gold reigned supreme! It was an exciting game (especially for me, I don't watch a lot of football anymore so I had to pay good attention to keep up). We won 28-23. Yea!
No matter how fervent, fans cannot subsist on game alone. So we had green onion bacon dip, chips, pretzels, Lil' Smokies, Ginger Ale & beer. Food of the gods, naturally. During halftime, Dustin's buddy Frank was sweet enough to draw some chalk characters on the sidewalk with Shelby. Very cute. After the game they made a chalk outline of another friend on our neighbor's sidewalk. Also cute, but a bit creepy.
And speaking of winning streaks, the Saints are now 9-0: the best winning streak the team has ever had! It would truly be super if the first year we lived here, our city's team went to the Super Bowl. Personally, I believe our presence has had a little somethin' somethin' to do with it. But, I suppose there could be other reasons, too.
