Did You Have Tears In Your Eyes?

“To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.”

- Jim Valvano (American basketball coach, Coach of North Carolina State U., 1980-1990; won NCAA championship, 1983 1946-1993)

I was too busy wondering why the Patriots were supposed to be scary. And I was silmultaneously super happy and angry. Happy we whooped 'em and stayed healthy and mad that they just gave up like little girls. 60 minutes people.

Yes.
A buddy of mine from my Army days that I had a falling out with sent me a text in the 3d qtr. He is from LA too.

We fought over something that now seems silly.
He tracked me down through mutual friends and finally found a way to get in touch w/o losing face.
Better man than I.

We talked about the Saints until we just started talking.

So many of my Army buddies used to humor me when I would talk about how the Saints were gonna do it "next year".
Now they hit me up and say how they are pulling for the Saints because their team is out this year.
They listened to my "dreams" about my Saints and as their teams have had success in the past. They are behind the Saints this year.

Not because they are on the bandwagon.
Because SFC Wilson deserves it.

I am sending out "Who-Dat Nation" shirts to as many as possible and my boys will sport them.
If that is band-wagon. Then so be it.

Did I cry?
You Betcha!
Not done yet!
19-0! Bless You Boys!
