e-a-g-l-e-s eagles!


yesterday commenced the 7-month hiatus from life known as the nfl. (well, it started on thursday but the important team didn't play 'til yesterday.) i have married into what i call a dynasty of true football fanatics, and these 7 months can be the most emotional 7 months of the year for eagles fans. philadelphia eagles, that is.


i've been climbing the class ladder for the past five years in hopes that someday when i wake up out of the non-season coma, i will have been reborn into the elite "true fan" class. (please note: when I first met jed i was painfully yet naturally stuck in the "ignorant" class, tho' i'm not sure which class i'm in currently)


the game yesterday was an invigorating and pump-you-up season starter, and the fans definitely felt it. usually the eagles' luck is so low that you can't even scrape it up with steel wool, but yesterday it almost didn't seem that way. but we'll see. there's always the "but" in a season. there are bound to be a few cannonballs and suicide hills in the emotional roller coaster this season, but i love being along for the ride!
