OK THEN!!!

Yes, this is my first post of my new blog. I guess maybe I'm supposed to use this time to tell you what this blog is about, why I'm writing it, what I'm going to write about, and all that stuff???

Well...that may be what I'm SUPPOSED to be writing...but that's now what I'm going to write about.

So what am I going to babble on about???

Yesterday (as it is now EARLY Sunday am), was my 6th Anniversary with my lovely wife Jessica. For those that know me, and know what's been going on in our lives in the past year and a half... this was a very special Anniversary. So...I set out to plan a perfect day for us.

That day started with me working a 24-hour shift on the ambulance the day before. It was a VERY SLOW shift (thankfully!), and the ONLY call we did was at 9:30pm by some 40-year old single broad (she's 40...and single...hmmmmmmmmmm)...who, wanted to scare her "room-mate", so she got drunk, and then told her that she took a "bunch of pills, just to end it all". OHHHH PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!! When I used to work in P-Town, we'd call this "Delta Delta". Try to figure it out. Ask me if you can't...I'll help. Anyway...we drag this dumb drunk to the Hospital, so she can now be confined to a 72-hour mandatory psych hold. Stupid.

ANYWAY! Got out at 7am, came home, did some stuff around the house, got all gussied up, and after Jessica's cousin Kelly and her fiance Dave (yeah Dave...I'm putting the pressure on!) came to watch the Boyz, we hit the road. Off to the Museum of Science, to do the interactive CSI Exhibit. It was pretty cool, could have been a little more "hands-on" to make it more interesting, but all in all, it was fun. Then went to dinner, drove to the Boston Commons, parked, walked around for just over an hour, then went to the Opera House to watch The Nutcracker. Now...I'm a pretty simple guy...I'm willing to broaden my horizons...I've been to a number of shows at the Opera House, the Wang, etc....but...did anyone OTHER THAN ME know that an Opera is Non-Verbal??? About 20 minutes into it, I chose my moment, when the symphony was blaring (so that no-one would hear me), I leaned over to Jessica, and whispered in her ear, "There's really no talking through this shit???". I wasn't trying to be a prick, but I couldn't understand what the hell the whole story was, without any talking!!! But...I will say... that dancing was incredible, especially the kids that were in the play.

It was a very nice day, a very nice Anniversary, especially one as special as this one.

OK...so...I started my blog talking about my bride. I actually spent quite a bit of time about our Anniversary...so...I think that means...I can now talk about...

FOOTBALL!!!!!!!

I'll write alot about football in this blog...if you don't like it, don't read it. I'm a Patriots fan. Yes. I admit it. I don't care if you love or hate the Pat's. Or love to hate the Pat's. All I know is that they are facing the Steelers this afternoon...and after the last 2 games, games against teams that were not as productive as the Steelers...everyone is calling for this to be another "close one". I'm never right about this shit...never...but I call for today to be another BLOWOUT! The team has a short week after playing Monday night...got an extra day off from the coaching staff...they know they've pulled out 2 "squeakers" from 2 sub-par teams...and now they are facing the 9-3 Steelers. They will have their game on. 38-13 Patriots (yes, 38...hey, Gostkowski is my kicker in my Fantasy Football League...he needs to kick me at least 1 Field Goal! hehehe). I'm probably wrong...it'll probably be another squeaker, or maybe they'll lose. I will say this, though. If they're going to lose...I'd much rather it be to the Steelers, then ESPECIALLY next week to the Jets, or to the Dolphins! If they did lose...then all the HATERS could finally sit around and touch themselves about how the cheaters finally got what was coming to them. yawwwwwwwwwwn...blah blah blah.

We'll see what happens in about 13 hours...
