National holidays seem to be a lot less fun when you no longer get to celebrate with a three-day weekend.

Go to a Jets Game
I managed to get to 2 Jets games this season. Nixta and I did the sub zero game against the Buffalo Bills. A see sawing thriller which the Jets managed to win. The tailgate starter was “cool”. Bloody Marys being essential, cheese burgers and ‘dogs. Avoided the NDE on the return trip, but did give Nixta the opportunity to dig his fingernails into the dash once or twice.
My friend from Maine was in town for the Miami Dolphins game. Another tailgating opportunity, this time with chairs and a table, which gave us the look of old hands at this. 63 degrees and a season defining game made for a packed house. This one didn’t turn out so well for the Jets though. A couple of observations as a result:

This one didn’t turn out so well for the Jets though. A couple of observations as a result:
- Not sure why it was necessary for the crowd to boo the cheer leaders at half time. I thought they were still cute despite their teams’ performance.
- It became amusing as the crowd cheered for Chad Pennington as the game slipped away. One suspenseful moment as a “mature aged” woman removed her 4 Favre jersey to reveal a 10 Pennington underneath (thank goodness – there were already some bare chested guys that shouldn’t have been).
- One needs to be careful banging one’s hand on the seat in front of you when the Jets make a bad play. Otherwise you can end up with smashed fingers and blood on your fatigues.
