This weekend we had two home openers.
Saturday marked the annual town-wide garage sale. Con and I talked about doing this for several years now, but this was the first year we actually committed to the event and weeks of preparation. The morning poured with rain so we erected our Jets tent, and (thanks to Con's phenomenal selling skills) had a very profitable day, despite a number of near accidents on our slippery, wet 75 degree driveway: a gentleman in his seventies who insisted on testing the Nordic track on the steep incline; and a young boy who tried out the bike without knowledge of handlebar brakes.
On Sunday we put the Jets tent up again for the home season opener, this time as defense against the beating heat. Unfortunately, the team wasn't quite as successful in their defense, logging a 19-10 loss to the Patriots, and a sore disappointment on the tails of the opening-week win over the Dolphins. We know, though, that the team's on the Favre learning curve and sill time to become a playoff team. Go JETS!
