Sports-less Sunday!

    MONDAY, OCTOBBER 5TH.

     SPORTS-LESS SUNDAY!

   The Eagles got beat (again). Baltimore
hammered my Yankees. And Bull
riders took over the afternoon schedule
on CBS. But that's not what threw me!
    For the first time in weeks my grand
daughter's mini football cheerleading
squad had a day off as did my grandson's
soccer team. That gave us a Sports-less
Sunday!
     That worked out pretty well. Especially
for me. I was still trying to dry out from
Thursday's Soccer game and warm up from
Friday night's Football game.
      I almost felt compelled to watch at least
a little sports on TV to fill in the void!
Almost! Not quite!
      Instead my wife and I joined my
daughter, her husband and daughter and
engaged in our own favorite "sport." It's
called dinner! And we're all good sports!
      The contest was simple. We headed
over to the American Grill in Exeter to
see who could complete their meal
without resorting to a take out container!
I tackled a half rack of ribs and fries.
My wife challenged the Bar-B-Q
chicken. My daughter took on a special
sausage soup while my son-in-law put
both chili and a sandwich on his card.
My grand daughter did a couple rounds
with a sandwich that looked as big as
her Geometry and French books
stacked together!      
      I believe my son-in-law and I tied
for the championship with all of the
girls coming in a close second. If I
can get at the chicken my wife brought
home before she does I may yet capture
the crown!
      Hope there's a couple more...nice..
Sports-less Sundays and that all your
NEWS is good!
