Daaaa Bearsssss.....

ROCK!!!!!
It's somewhat amazing they were able to pull that game out.
Did they deserve to win? Not sure. But they did!
Rex looked good -- not great, not mind-blowing, but good. Which is all he needs to be.
The defense, however, is gonna give me fits. I know they have injuries. I know those injuries are to key guys. But COME ON....does that mean the rest of them have to play like shit? SO irritating -- they are so much better than that.
So, the million-dollar question -- are they gonna beat the Saints next week?
I have a feeling if I asked the Magic 8 Ball it would say "signs say no." But I'm not giving up hope....they just may have another miracle wedged up their ass somewhere.

The visit at my dad's was nice. Although it's official -- my dad has become a grumpy, pissy, crotchety old man. He's always had a short temper, but WOW -- he's taking frustration to all new and ugly heights. The man seriously needs to CHILL OUT. But we all got spoiled to death, which led JN to feel guilty we didn't spend more on everyone.
Lemme ask you: Just because my family feels the need to go WAY overboard on presents (perhaps due to guilt over not being closer, or due to trying to one-up each other, or due to trying to show off how much money they have -- not saying they have ulterior motives, but certainly possible....could my family be capable of giving just for the goodness of giving? Magic 8 Ball? ....yeah, that's what I thought), should that make us feel bad because we can't? (It's not that we don't want to, it's that we CAN'T!!) I don't think so, but JN does. Wish I could help him out there -- if there's one thing life with my family has taught me, it's this: Get over it because you can't change it, and LET IT GO.
I should stitch that on a pillow or something....
Yeah, like I have time to do that.
