Minutes to Memories

The Superdome a Few Months After Katrina (my 1st trip to N'awlins after...)

Well, the Saints are through with the Superdome this year, but they aren't finished playing football. After our friends, Tracy & Shanna, treated us to a wonderful lunch today, I enjoyed watching the exciting overtime game between the Bears and the Seahawks with them. In the end, it was Da Bears! that clinched a spot in next week's NFC Championship Game against the Saints. The game last night was exciting, too! I have to admit that I got a little worried at halftime when the Saints didn't pull off the Hail Mary pass to close the second quarter. I mean when the "Saints" in a predominantly Catholic area can't connect on a Hail Mary, well who can? But they overcame that particular unanswered prayer to continue a miraculous season anyway, and next week they will face the top team in the NFC - the Chicago Bears - to see if they can do the unthinkable and make it to Miami to compete in Super Bowl #41. All things are possible, right?

(P.S. Did anyone see the hit on Reggie Bush last night? When he came back into the game, I became convinced that he really is Superman. But it was an old Mississippi boy named Deuce that carried that team to victory!)
