a toast to 1977 "Go Raiders!" "Go Vikings!" Win/Win Football Sunday


unplanned, but i really like the kind of warrior/hippie sunbeam headband that landed across my forehead in this picture.


i'm going to use a credit card/financial analogy for the Raider game today

     -usually people use sports analogies to explain other things, but..

it was like this, 

   you finally broke even...  now SAVE!

   you used your credit card again!  you knew better!  

        that's a self-inflicted debt wound.    now you have to work even harder to break even again

  -oh my goodness... mercy!  someone just wrote you a check   -you have FREE MONEY

you are ahead now...!

oh my good God...   haven't you learned anything!?!   you just spent the free money and used your credit card again!    you keep making yourself having to work harder and harder...  you had 4 more chances and blew it

there's no hope..    wait!    that was a good financial decision...    you are headed in the write direction..

DONT GO BACKWARDS AGAIN!  

    -and just when i officially believed the game was over, and was putting my slippers on to go clean the bathroom..

WHAT?!?!    when the clock read .05...     they hit the lottery, and WON!   

VICTORY RAIDERS!     Robert calls it the Raiders Minneapolis Miracle 

****

and we didn't get to watch the Vikings game live..    just the scores on our phones 

i can promise you this..   Robert refuses to even hope they will win..

even when they are ahead, he says, "doesn't mean anything...   they'll choke..   that's what they do"

and the game went into overtime..     

     -he refuses to hope out loud, like it will jinx any potential they might have..

"SEE!  they only won because I didn't believe they could..   if i believed.. they would have lost"


it's a very cerebral and emotional sport   -being a fan of these football teams.

    -don't forget great food, fun drinks, spirit wear

"Cheers!"  from sexy & tops
