Happy Few Days Into The New Year
01/09/05 Filed in: Hogwash
Given my spotty posting history, it's unlikely that
there will be much more to see here than there was in
'04. I'm back in Boston for a few weeks, and I'll use
the excuse that I don't have ready access to a
broadband connection. (That's a sham, though...This
city is crawling with wi-fi hotspots, and the private
home where I'm staying also has a cable modem, but
that service is down at the moment. This post is
coming to you from Starbucks next door to Old City
Hall on the Freedom Trail)
I'm flabbergasted that the Jets beat the Chargers, and I have mixed feelings about it: On the Jets side of it, I'm glad they came through with a solid game and got to shut up the NY tabloids for a few days. The flip side is that the Bolts had to lose. The Chargers, I should note here, were a childhood favorite of mine (because of the cool powder blue unis and that simple lighting bolt helmet), and I tend to be a sucker for comeback stories. The turnaround this year was remarkable, and San Diego looked like they had a chance to keep it going deep into the playoffs. The Jets were supposed to be in the playoffs, and frustrated all of us by not being a better team along the way.
Since I'm a Boston resident for a while, I'm rooting for the Pats to get back to the Super Bowl. I don't know what this town would do if they actually win the thing again...two major sports championships in the same year? Who do they think they are, Los Angeles?
