Statements Recant?

I guess my loyal readers are expecting something in reference to the last post and the results of last night's amazing game......wells, though I am excited as any Redskins fan in regards to the thrilling 14-13 victory over the Cowgirls, I am not quite ready to jump on the Brunell/Gibbs bandwagon.

In fact, I can only hope the success of the offense in the last 4 minutes will lead Gibbs conservative playcalling in another direction. Instead of the ineptitude of the WR Screen, perhaps speed down the middle will calm these blitzing defenses to back off a little bit...in turn opening the middle for Portis to do some damage.

No, friends, it's gonna take more than 4 minutes of true Redskins caliber football to pull Gibbs and Brunell out of the shithole section of my opinions.....

31

I've denied, resisted, and passionately fought against the aging process, and mentally I've won that battle. I still act like a mature 26 year old. However, my 30.9753425 year old body just officially announced is retreat to the aging process. For the second time in a year, I have eaten McDonald's and everything that is me is rejecting this food. I feel horrible, not strangely happy as in years past.....disgusted, thick McDonald's spit in my mouth.....just bad.....and I had to wait ten minutes to get this atrocity called lunch!

Football Season

Ah, this beautiful time of year when the pigskin is a'flyin' and the hot days of summer aren't so hot.

Check the Hokies and the Redskins blogs over thataway in the sidebar for updates on the teams I love. I haven't been updating them as I should but hopefully I will get back to it and you'll have a layman's view of the sport that is fit for kings....particular the king of beer....BUDWEISER!!

Bad News

After the excitement of finding out that we were expecting, we were hit with the disappointment of a miscarriage. Initially, we found out last week on Wednesday. The wife had symptoms that are common to a miscarriage but that are also common in an early pregnancy. After her doctor's appointment the following day, there was a slim chance that a miscarriage had not occurred but given the evidence it was unlikely.

I took the news kind of hard. I don't think I showed it outwardly so much as I tried to stay optimistic hoping the follow up appointment would result in us still being pregnant. I think the absence of 100% proof helped my wife handle it better as she was able to fortify herself for bad news this week should the miscarriage prove to be true. It helped me as well. Even though I remained hopeful, in the back of my mind I think I knew what the follow-up would show. In any case, I think we've handled it quite well.

We've also found ourselves becoming much more knowledgeable concerning pregnancies, particularly early pregnancies and the exact biological processes occuring that make it happen.

Unfortunately, I sometimes wonder if karma is rearing its head due to the two previous abortions I went through with ex-girlfriends in college. Though I am pro-choice, I can certainly say that I will never advocate an abortion if there is any other possible solution.

Tuesday Morning Recap

The 'Skins came out on top of a defensive battle that either highlighted two really good defenses . . . .or lowlighted two really bad offenses. Oddly enough, some fellow skins fans and I predicted the score would be 9 -7 early in the first quarter. Sitting at the sports bar, we were discussing how fans of other teams were shouting and carrying on because they were scoring and how we were calmly watching our game reminiscing about the special feeling a touchdown gives you . . . .

ON a side note, Gibbs has really fallen very far from my most popular list. He shows this fake faith in Patrick Ramsey saying he's the starter etc, the kid gets a minor injury and I swear I think I saw Gibbs smile. The kid says he's ready to get back in the game and Gibbs holds him out. Now P-Ram is 6/11 for 102 yards. Ol' Brunell? He finished with 70 yards passing.....Then after the game Gibbs, being the honest upfront man he is, says he'll wait a couple of days to determine his starter based on how folks heal up.....so a couple of hours later he names Brunell the starter.

Gibbs should be ashamed of the way he's treated P-Ram. He should be upfront with the kid and say I'm going to do my best to not play you. YOu may want to look elsewhere. Gibbs has been through two offseasons and managed to pick qb's both seasons....no support for the incumbent. I wish P-Ram the best and sincerely hope he leaves the Redskins high and dry as soon as he gets a chance. And then I want him to go on and have a phenomenal career to spite Gibbs.....

I never thought I'd say it but I'm really not feeling this Gibbs guy.......

Letting Folks Know

We told the parents last night about our pregnancy. My mom was clearly excited as was my dad. I think her mom almost cried. I'm still in shock for some reason. I guess I need something physical to see or touch because I don't feel any different, my wife doesn't look any different.....there's not that thing that puts it smack dab in my face that says PREGNANT. I am excited though.....

I'm going to be a father, a pops, a daddy, a role model. I will be responsible for another human being. Feeding, housing, protecting. I'm going to be a daddy.

I must say that I'm still in shock. Don't doubt that I'm happy because I'm ecstatic and relieved that we are able to have children. But still shock is pretty prevalent too.

I found out Friday night around 10:15 after arriving home after a two week business trip. 'I'm late', she said with a slight smile. I was overwhelmed, instantly antsy despite a long drive. I couldn't stop moving. She went to the doctor this morning and found out she is 6 weeks along.

I'm going to be a daddy!
