Jags season over

It was a valiant effort, but the Jags lost to the Patriots on Saturday night. We didn't go anywhere to watch the game as we figured just about everyone else would be out and about watching the game and we didn't feel like fighting the crowds. Which was just as well. By the middle of the third quarter, I couldn't watch anymore and went to bed (those 8 p.m. kickoffs on the east coast make for late nights).

While we were watching, we had the doors open because it was a very nice evening. And when the Jags scored, someone somewhere was setting off fireworks (and yes, for those of you in California, fireworks are legal here, and there's a stand somewhere off I-95 which is close by. And I'm sure there are other places even closer where you can get them). And any time someone for Jacksonville did something good, someone else in a nearby apartment would cheer and yell. I think pretty much the entire town was watching the game. In fact, at the grocery store the next day, everyone asked, "Hey, did you see the game last night?"

Anyway, Go Jags!
