Hope Never Dies

As part of Veteran's Day weekend the Miami Dolphins gave free tickets to today's game against the Redskins to all members of the military and their families! The Redskins hardly ever play the Dolphins and are NEVER shown on TV around here (due to their terrible record and Florida having three NFL teams competing for airtime). Not even today's game was aired on our local stations...so what luck that we could go for free! As much as I was hoping the Skins would win Mateo's first football game, they did not disappoint in being disappointing, as always. Still, we had fun. Mateo was an angel. My biggest challenge, some days, is keeping him stimulated and entertained between feedings and naps. A pro football game is nothing but stimulating and entertaining so my job was easy! Almost too stimulating...I get total ADD and have to remind myself to watch the GAME, not the jumbotron (isn't that what it's called?), crazy fans, mascot, shiny things, etc., etc. It's like they almost don't want you to pay attention to how badly the game is being played. *Sigh.* At least the Miami fans were grateful for their win....

Here's Mateo, learning one of life's most fundamental lessons...the Redskins may always disappoint, but, as I told the guy behind us, "they're our team!"
