"Tackle and Touchdown"....

Tackle and Touchdown….

Last night “Lucky” and I had the opportunity to check out a Giants Football game last night. “Lucky” is a huge Football fan and I knew he would enjoy the surprise.
One of my clients hooked me up with the tickets invited us to tailgate with him and boy did we have a good time my client and my boy hit it off right away chatting about current issues in the education system while I talked with his sales rep about business. I was pleased to see that things were going so well but I wasn’t ever really worried….If you knew “Lucky” you’d like him too.

Ok so about the food…I had no idea my client had such grilling skills…In the matter of 40 minutes we were feasting on Grilled Flank Steak, Grilled Shrimp, and Fresh Salmon & Grilled Tomatoes covered in olive oil, fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers. Ok you get the idea.

So now on to the game….As some of you long time readers of the show know I have issues with sports…It’s probably because my dad forced me to play every sport as a kid that I have rejected the whole concept of sports all together. However, at 28 I’m ready to Tackle and Touchdown on something new.

Last nights game was not just a regular game it was “The New Orleans Saints” season opener which of course could not be held at home due to the wrath of Katrina so it was held here in New Jersey at Giants stadium. I was surrounded by thousands of screaming Giants fans who were ready for action and I kept thinking to myself that this is not just a game this is a true representation of the fact that “Change is Inevitable” yesterday I had an offline conversation with “The Mexican” who really has been doing some back blogging and reminded me that “Change” has been the constant theme of the show. I could not help but think of this as I watched The Saints get clobbered by the Giants last night. I kept thinking to myself I’m surrounded by change. “Lucky” who has become such a big and important part of my life but was only able to do that through my personal growth and each day he encourages me to change. We had a few stolen moments as I watched him in his element screaming at the top of his lungs cheering for his team little did he know that there were 25 “Foxy” Cheerleaders inside me screaming for him. Unfortunate for The Saints their cheerleaders did not help them to obtain a victory last night but because “Change Is Inevitable” they were able to play last night and will play in another city next week. Life does go on…..One day at a time!

Today I “Tackle” my fears from yesterday and “Touchdown” on my dreams of tomorrow!

I have one question for you……Are you ready for some Football???
