The One With the Patriots Returning to the Superbowl

PATS WIN, PATS WIN, PATS WIN


Earlier this evening, the Patriots did what many thought was the impossible. They won the AFC Championship with a 37-31 OT victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. It was an amazing game with so many subplots:

Old QB vs. Future QB
Bill Belichick vs. Andy Reid
Gronk vs. Kelce
Brady vs the World

It was a tough game with excellent defense by the Pats as they went into the half up 14 to 0. However, we all know that KC has been tough all year and because they were the home team - and the Pats have had trouble on the road in the playoffs - all signs pointed to a comeback. And they did, taking the lead in the 4th quarter and then tying the game with 11 seconds left to play. Wow!

However, Tom Brady, who has shown signs of age this season, showed what he had when he needed it most, orchestrating a masterful lead drive in OT, and guiding the Pats to their 11 ever AFC Championship!

Amazing! Now onto the Superbowl, where they will meet the LA Rams (the team, though from St. Louis, that they beat to win their first Superbowl). In the proverbial words of 1980s Bostonians...Beat LA.

The One With Bri's Big Week

Wow....this was a busy week in our little neck of the woods. In fact, it was the week of Bri.


On Monday, Bri had to attend a school committee meeting. There, she and several of her other sixth grade classmates were honored for having their pictures selected in the local DPW calendar. That was a fabulous event!


On Tuesday, Bri had her first middle school concert. It was a blast watching her playing flute on stage for the first concert this year. She did a great job and looked much like a middle school student on stage.


Then, we wrapped up the week where she volunteered for a "Friday Fun" night for her school. She and some friends helped run activities at the event....which she had a lot of fun at.


Overall, it was pretty exhausting this week...but pretty fun!

The One Where the Celtics are Brutal

I am watching the Celtics game and they are just awful.

They should be destroying the Magic.

They are losing by 7.

They are so talented and yet are awful. I don't get it.
