Goodbye Bissells |
We are up early, as we hope to be on the road to Darien by 7:00. We go the back way, avoiding tolls and #95, so we head up to Gettysburg, then past Harrisburg, across to Allentown, then up # 87 to the Tappan Zee to the Merritt, then to Darien.

We had a lazy Sunday morning. Fortunately, I was feeling better even though I was up early. The rest slept in, Hayden not getting up till 10:30, Jill at 9:30. So, we did not get much done, just got on our computers and watched CBS Sunday Morning. Around noon, Drew took off to Buffalo Wings, a restaurant about ten minutes away, to save seats for some of his buddies. There are least twenty TV's going on in the bar, and at least one TV has every NFL game. Drew became a avid KC Chiefs fan when he spent a year in Leavenworth, KS, and went to a number of games with my son Tommy who is also an avid Chiefs fan. Attending games in the Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium and participating in the tailgating makes you a Chiefs fan.

At 1:00 I drove over to Buffalo Wings and parking lot was packed, so I had to park in front of the stores. When I walked in, people were waiting for seats but Drew and friends had a table. It was packed of course, with everyone wearing a jersey of the team they were rooting for. Despite at least twenty TV's, it's actually hard to watch the game because the various TV's are distracting and when a group cheers, you try to figure what team has just scored, and on what TV. Drew's friends were from the neighborhood and I met then at his retirement party in July. We of course had to order some wings to go with our beer, what else do you get at Buffalo Wild Wings. Jill and one of the wives arrived at halftime, so I took off, had enough football and was starting to get tired, but it was good to get out with the guys. While I was gone, Evie and Hayden watched Hayden's new favorite movie, The Maze Runner then took Halle and a girl for a walk in the woods behind their house. The rest of the afternoon for me was spent watching football and falling asleep on the couch while the others watched the movie.

Drew and Jill came home around 4:30 and we, of course, watched more football, sat around having a wine before dinner. When we got hungry, Evie and Hayden got dinner ready, Slovenian sausages, left over pizza, salad and for Hayden, the leftover stuffing from Christmas, a hodgepodge of a dinner but good.
We ended up watching too much football, the Lions and Packers, after dinner, then part of the Steeler game later in the evening but none of us could stay up for the entire game. If we made it through the first half we felt lucky. The girls and Evie, however, were smart and watched a classic teen movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the basement. We were all in bed by 10:30. I forgot...I bought gas for $2.09 a gallon earlier in the day! Far Out!
