The In-Laws Are In Town...
...they arrived safe and sound in the 4th quarter of yesterday's Cowboys game. Thankfully, they understood and immediately told me to sit back down & that we could visit and get the luggage out of the car after the game was over. I mentioned that I could put the game on "live pause" and be fine but they'd have none of it. Sweet. And they were kind of for the Redskins simply because former Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell and Murray said, "I'm for the Cowboys and Jason Campbell." He didn't see that if Jason did well then the Cowboys wouldn't necessarily be winning. But this is how folks in states where there aren't professional football teams view the NFL: A chance to see what former college team heroes are doing these days.
They also spent the night in Monroe, Louisiana and experienced true schadenfreude in the aftermath of the Evil Empire of The University of Alabama's vaunted Crimson Tide falling in Saturday's football game to the Warhawks of the University of Louisiana-Monroe...an upset of epic proportions. This was evidenced by their purchase of a local paper with big headlines...to which we immediately mentioned that the reason they lost that game was because of a laser focus on the Auburn game this week so as not to jinx our Tigers in the rivalry game.
And the reason they're here is two-fold: To watch Kid2 in The Nutcracker tonight at the Will Rogers Theatre in Fort Worth and to celebrate Thanksgiving with us since we can't make it back for Christmas. Both of those will be easily accomplished.
But, last week, I mentioned that I'm not ashamed to use The Diner bulletin board for the purpose of asking the patronage that if they're aware of any free tickets out there to the Stars game on Wednesday night or the Cowboys-Jets game Thursday, I'll be happy to put them to good use. Obviously, I don't want any of you to purchase them, either. I'm talking about only those corporate seats that aren't getting used because of the holiday weekend.
It's the last two days of a short work-week, people! Let's pay attention to any tickets sitting in envelopes in desk drawers that just aren't going to get used and find them a happy home (even if the end-user is a cheapskate who doesn't care enough about either game to pay for 'em).
