Packers 52 - Saints 3
Ok, so this isn't supposed to be a Packers blog, but this is big news!!!!! You almost feel sorry for the poor New Orleans Saints, being homeless and all that, but they have Mike McKenzie now and we couldn't let him beat us. It was a perfect day for football, sunny but cool, and everyone here in Green Bay is happy to see Brett Favre and the guys kicking ass and having a good time playing again!
I love the football season because we always have lots of fun company. Last night my Uncle Jim and Auntie Lisa came in from Chicago. We haven't seen them in a long time so that was fun. They all had a fun time at the game today, but I got to stay in the nice warm house because it was freezing (almost!) when they left early this morning. We had a bit of frost last night and we even turned on the heat for the first time late yesterday. Wasn't it just a few days ago I was writing about 86 degree heat?
There were no posts since that one because the Packers lost again on Monday night, but if you stayed up late enough you would have seen that they almost pulled it out at the very end. After being waaaaaaay behind for most of the game, they kicked into gear in the fourth quarter and ended up losing by only 3 points! But that's the thing about Packer fans ... they stay until the bitter end, no matter how far behind the team is or how freakin' freezing it is (or no matter how late it is on a work night when it's Monday Night Football!)
But this isn't a Packers blog, right? The real reason we haven't been posting is that we've been busy the last several nights turning "The War Room" back into a proper guest room again. So if you want to come and visit you can actually stay here with us now. Mom was officially retired from the Army as of 31 July, and now all the uniforms and gear are finally gone! Aside from one footlocker full of stuff that went out to the storage shed, she boxed all the rest of it up and gave it to the Salvation Army. There will probably be a whole squad of little Army guys coming around the neighborhood on Halloween this year!
PS - My dad will have you know that he was in fact wearing his lucky shirt today, but we really think the reason the Packers won is that almost half the women at the game were wearing their new pink hats. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wear pink to show your support for the efforts to find a cure!

I didn't get to watch the game. It wasn't shown here, but it was great to see Brett back in action.
