Sports in America

How about those Jets?  Not only did they win, which continues their win one/lose one pattern (a sure recipe for achieving our stated goal of 8-8), but they managed to beat the hated Patriots.  In overtime.  I thought I'd plotz.

Would have been better if the Eagles had beaten the Cowboys, but what can you do?

Daughter #2 stopped in for the weekend and God almighty that girl can wear a person out.  So no count-down today.

Tomorrow?  #18!  And what could be more exciting than that?

I repair now to the living room to finish reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.  The third book in the Stieg Larsson Dragon Tattoo trilogy.  And it has been outstanding.  I refer to the whole trilogy, but this last one is obviously top of mind (since I'm reading it) and it is absolutely careening towards its ending.

Back to the Jets, an optimist could envision someone hitting Tom Brady as hard as Mo Lewis hit Drew Bledsoe sometime in the next few games and the Jets winning the division.

An optimist?
Perhaps a crazy person.
