Saturday was my movie and hockey day. After going to see the movie 'Atonement' (I'm not sure why this movie is getting so many rave reviews .. it was good but not 'amazing') with Angela and Stephanie, we met up with Kerri, Engie, and Pat to have drinks and a snack before the Caps played the Atlanta Thrashers. After our snack, we said goodbye to Stephanie and headed over to the Verizon Center. We were able to go through security but couldn't get into the game because the tickets had the wrong date on them. The woman who sold Pat the tickets had given him the wrong game! Luckily, after talking with the manager and standing around a while, we were able to get tickets and we headed up to the very last row in the nose bleed section. We were actually quite happy about being in the last row because we could stand up and didn't have to worry about bothering people behind us. It was a pretty good game and although the Caps lost we all had a great time!
(From the back ... Kerri, Angela, Pat, Engie, me!)Super Bowl!
What an amazing Super Bowl game! I don't watch football during the regular season but have always loved watching the Super Bowl. This year I watched with friends who are Giant's fans. I didn't go into the game favoring either team but did want to see a balanced game without either team totally ruling the game. I soon found myself cheering for the Giants ... they played so well and totally deserved this win. At one point David Tyree caught what I said was the play of the game .. with a number of Patriots surrounding him and pulling on his jersey, he jumped up and as he was falling backwards caught the ball, pressed it against his helmet, and then was able to hold it with two hands as he landed on his back. It really was amazing and will be a highlight play in any Super Bowl highlights show from this point forward!
Thanks Danielle and Oscar for letting me invite myself over! :-)
