anxiety!
Cowboys play tonight on Monday Night Football. They're playing a team, the Carolina Panthers, that's in a tougher spot at 0-2 than the Cowboys are at 1-1, so I'm understandably a little nervous because you figure a team that falls to 0-3 is nearly dead in the water in this ultra-competitive league. The Panthers will no doubt be pulling out all the stops to make sure that doesn't happen to them. And it's not like the Panthers are a bad 0-2 team. They suffered through a horrible first game by their QB for their first loss, and their second loss was an extremely tight, competitive game against the 2-1 Atlanta Falcons. So yeah, a little worried about the game tonight.
Had a nice weekend though. It was my anniversary on Saturday, so the wife and I took in a movie, the Surrogates, which was pretty good, but not great. I probably wouldn't recommend rushing out to see it. We then had dinner at a nice restaurant with French cuisine and really enjoyed ourselves. We both tried escargot for the first time ever, as my wife enjoys trying new foods whenever she can, and I have to admit that they weren't bad at all. They were seasoned with what tasted like garlic, butter and pesto and it was pretty tasty. I just want to say that I feel truly fortunate to be married to such a beautiful, intelligent, understanding and forgiving woman. I love you, pooks.
Sunday was a good day too. Went over to a friend's house early to watch football. The Vikings/49ers game was on. That one was an absolute barn-burner that was decided in the last couple of seconds. The Vikings ended up winning it, and I know 9er fans are depressed this morning, but I have to say that this is definitely a different San Francisco 49ers team. Singletary has the team playing extremely focused football with a lot of desire. There were points in the game where the 49ers of a year or so ago would have folded up like an accordion, but they went toe-to-toe with the Minnesota Vikings even though they lost (arguably) their best player in Frank Gore early in the game. After that was over, I met some other friends I hadn't seen in a good long while at a sports bar and had a good time yucking it up. Went on a run an hour or two after that, and it was a tough one. Beer and running don't mix too well, even if you're not drunk. But I managed to get through it, at least. I've been increasing the amount of runs I go on lately and I'm noticing some fatigue creeping up again. That's what happened last time when I hurt my hip, so I'm thinking about easing back a little again until my body recovers.
And that's all I've got. How was your weekend?
