Whoa..what a couple of weeks. The rams won on the 20th..so the trip to St. Louis on the 27th was a go! Tony handled all the arrangements, and forwarded all the money.
Pics from the game are in the Gallery section.
We flew in on a half empty plane and got good seats. Upon arriving a few eagles fans proceeded to arrive in the airport, and spit on the floor (and these were the women). Everything i heard was true..they really are scumbags. Our seats were part of a block purchased by the rampagers group that tony is friends with. We picked our tickets at the same bar as 2 years ago “The Drury”. The “Main Guy” in the group was running late. and we found out later that he fell in front of his hotel, and not only was he not coming tonight…he wouldn’t even make the game. One of the group members was selling these lite up earing that her husband makes…I bought a pair for Deb. We all decided to eat dinner at a steak place down the street in Old St Louis (like the whole city isn’t old). Food was good, met some new, fun people from Sacramento, He owns a bar and has a “Ram Room” upstairs. One of his patrons was there (they call him “Big B”) and man can he down the stuff. Not sure if i saw him sober the whole trip.
GAMEDAY we arrived early and headed in. Went to the first stand and got my “SHIRT FROM THE TRIP” and we went inside. The game nerve racking…just like every other game this year. But we won and New Orleans was next.
The week went by fast, as deb and I prepared for a superbowl party. She ordered all kinds of Blue and gold, we had all the flags out and were ready for the game. We play the second annual Suberbowl of Half-Life at work til 12 and headed home for the game. Everybody knows what happened..so i dont need to tell you. Seemed fitting, with September 11th and all, that a team called the Patriots would win. I didnt feel to bad…Becaused i realized…we would be back…the pats wouldn’t. We have most of our players under contract..and the ones that arn’t want another shot..and should sign.
Oh Yes…We will return. Thats all for now.. This weekend i have an first appointment with a tax guy. He has done alot for my friends and i want in on the action. If it goes well the last of my bills will be paid off and saving for a house comes next……Whoo Hoo!!
