Tuesday – 16 November 2010
The second half of November is upon us.

Last night, and Nathan came over to watch the Eagles-Redskins game. More on that later.

After the game, I went to work on my model railroad. I was trying to incorporate the 90º crossover and two more switches… but couldn’t get a the pieces to line up. Rather than fight it (too much), I decided to call it a night and ponder the issue today. If nothing else, I’ll probably just do another reversing loop and find a way to throw a spur or two off the main line.

Chew on This: Food For Thought/Quote of the Day
Today’s “Magnetic Poetry Self Affirmation Quote of the Day” comes in response to the feeling of being overwhelmed that a coworker is experiencing:

FYI: I refuse to let the small stuff and stupid people be a problem anymore.

I think that can be applied in many situations…

Instant Replay: Football

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins
59 – 28
Wow.

Seriously… that’s just about the most accurate way to describe last night’s match-up between the Eagles and the ‘Skins.

Last night’s broadcast of Monday Night Football should have been renamed “The Michael Vick Show.” He did it all:

  • Threw four (4) touchdowns;
  • Ran for two (2) touchdowns;
  • Rushed for eighty (80) yards;
  • Threw for 333 yards;
  • No interceptions
  • No fumbles

He also became the first QB in NFL history with:

  • …at least 300 yards passing,
  • …50 yards rushing,
  • …four passing touchdowns and
  • …two rushing touchdowns

in a game. One game. The man was money. All night long.

Speaking of money, the Redskins’ new $78 million man, QB Donovan McNabb would have had a much better outing… if his receivers had bothered to show up. McNabb’s passes were pretty much on the money all night, but the receiving corps didn’t seem to put up a lot of effort to catch and/or hold onto the ball.

And with that…

Namaste.
