Late Losses

I was fortunate enough to be able to stay home from work on Friday. Dad had something to do early this morning and was gracious enough not to subject me to rising early, which was nice because I got to bed so late the night/morning before. I did have to wake up at 8:30 to cover the phones for about an hour and then went back to bed for a while. I didn’t do much of anything the rest of the day.I was at home all day Saturday watching football. Tulane played this evening and there were some other big games going on that night. I moved my TV into the living room so we could watch the Tulane and LSU games at the same time. Tulane played at Army this evening. Speaking frankly, they have a pretty lousy team and we should have win, and nearly did. With three minutes left in the game, we had a 17-7 lead. Army managed to tie the game with a one-in-a-million hail mary catch on the last play of regulation. We held Army to a field goal in the first possession of overtime. Army’s defense held us and we missed the field goal, ending the game with a humiliating defeat. That wasn’t the biggest upset that evening, though, as Stanford defeated USC this evening.On Sunday, Dad and I went to the Saints game with my co-worker Bianca. She had some spare tickets because her husband was out of town. Like the Tulane game, things were looking up until the end of the game approached. There were a couple of critical interceptions that kept the Saints from pulling ahead. Carolina scored a tie-breaking field goal on the last play of the game. The Final was 13-16, sinking the Saints to 0-4.

April 24: Festival Season
Nearly five months into the new year and here my first post of 2012. Over the last several months I lost one job and started looking for another one. I started going to the gym and exercising for the first time in my life. I thought I might lack the self discipline to keep up [...]

September 03: Denver in September
Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca. Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday. I wasn’t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport. The ride to the [...]

August 26: Progress
Nearly two months have passed since my last post. Seeing a June date on my homepage after all this time has finally compelled me to throw another entry on here. I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
