The Best Sort of Homecoming

By the time you read this, I'll likely have awakened, groggy and cotton mouthed, possibly in the back seat of my car, and in any case almost certainly wearing the clothes I wore the night before. I'll be somewhere on Interstate 64, or maybe 95, headed to my current home from my once and future.

I'm certain to have heard and told stories that I've long ago memorized, remet and remembered people I'd long forgotten, and walked in a younger version of my own footsteps. I'll have mini-summited, drank beer out of plastic pitchers, laughed, laughed, and laughed.

I'll be there.

The Jags should play all their games in London.

i don't like haunted houses. my daughter is a character at a very elaborate local haunted house that's done to raise money for charity, and she loves it. i went through it today, because i am a world-class father.

They'd go 4-12 if they played all their games in London, so I agree.

Still trying to process what the Washington Football Team did today. Totally counter to their recent historical precedent

And no comments about Rob's night? Come on. That's a strong homecoming performance by any standard.

Have to say that was a charming little effort turned in locally. Watching as a casual observer now, the team seems to have more character guys than they have had in the past several years. I don't know how the defense only allowed 7 points in the second half - I think they were an injury or two from dressing some of the coaches. Cousins' performance was gutsy and he almost threw another backbreaking pick at the Bucs' 7, but he got a break.

Hell of an effort Robert. I had assumed that you had secured a spot with Vicket at the Days Inn. You could have slept on our floor. Not sure that is more inviting than the car.
