at Jax airport at 2:30 pm - we have noticed big increase in traffic, limos, grocery stores are full of lots of "BAH STIN" accents - Eagles are staying down the street at Sawgrass Marriott and Patriots at World Golf Village near St Augustine. I noticed there were cops at every traffic light so nosy me asked why - there to control lights once the team limos and buses come down A1A - so I asked Tony if he wanted to try and watch them come in - he has no interest so it'll be me on the side of the road (2 blocks from my house) waving to those sweet underdogs!! Joanna

You are in for an unbelieveable week of heavy traffic. The big dogs blow into town and there will be functions all week long. It can be fun, but by next weekend you will be ready for it all to go away. Hopefully, you won't have a wardrobe malfunction that will drag on for weeks on the local news and distract from the game.

Betty we leave Wed for 2 segments of WC - happy to be out of here - Joanna

How could I have forgotten that? Probably jealousy. Are you packed?
I for one will be expecting many reports from the various ports. You really are on 2 of the best segment I think.
And Tony will get to iron to his heart's content.

I have not begun packing one thing - that was my goal today - so far - zip!!!! Tony selected segment #3 and I liked #4 so we combined them -

Joanna,

So, you are gonna "Get outa Dodge", huh? I don't blame you. I'll bet you are excited about your trip.

Betty,

Did I miss your congratulations, for your 1000th post? Well.....


Congratulations!!!!!!!

Betty

WISH I WAS THERE!

Gil: I just get caught up in the moment - I LOVED seeing the motorcycle escort and the limos followed by 5 team buses - part of me wishes we were going to be here ... even if we didn't have tickets we could have had a fun party at my house!! Joanna

Joanna - just remember -we refer to them as the IGGLES! Have a blast - and if you want any roomies, just let me (Or Gil! ) know!


Proudly flying my Iggles flag,,,,,

Bobbi: I cannot believe I started this thread - I am not into football - I told Bill (NHCruisers) Oh so happy hope Patriots win - he said you'll say same thing to IGGLES fans - right - I just like the all the pomp!!! Give me a motorcade (love those helmets) and some buses and I am one happy woman - Joanna

What a place LawnGuyLind is! I haven't found an Iggles Superbowl party here yet. SHEESH! When the Giants were in it, you couldn't get away from them!

"FLY EAGLES FLY, On The Road To Victory..."

Gil - we've been attending NFC championship party each year. Never made plans for superbowl. Until this year.....only problem with parties, it's harder to watch the game - too many distractions!
Also - some superbowl trivia....the last time the Eagles were in the Superbowl , I was in the hospital delivering daughter #2!!!!!! (Emily Elizabeth....botn 1/8/81!)
Joanna - you enjoy it all! Any excuse for a party!!!!

Gil - OK, this has been bugging me and I have to sidetrack the conversation (sorry). The quote in your signature ... what song was that again???

Masaki

My signature's quote is from Sting.
Title is "Russians"

At the risk of being political, some very inteersting verses, though from the Reagen & Khruschev era:

Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore

Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

Hijacking this thread to get on my soapbox - talked to my granddaugghters last night (10 and 11)and told them Paul McCartney, Donald Trump, Jessica airhead Simpson (they get mad when I throw in the airhead) , etc would be here and several celebs right on our street - they wanted to know about Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Snoop Dog (who has just been charged with rape) what's going on here 3 little girls all in Catholic schools and they view these jerks as important people?? - I flipped - said I dislike their music and the lyrics are disgusting and you shouldn't be interested in them either - sure they told their Moms who will say "she's having another meltdown" that's how they humor me -

OOOOH JOANNA!

I could jump all over that soapbox with you!!!!!
Not quite that they "shouldn't" be interested, but the fact that they give such overwhelming importance to these Whatever's, and fail to respect true accomplishments in the arts, sciences, etc. So am I expanding your soapbox? Big enough for 2 of us? I'll bet alot more want to join.

Thank you Gil!!! I blame the parents for letting them watch too much tv and buy trashy teen magazines and they're not even teens yets!! Oh by the way Go Iggles!! Joanna

GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claudia

I have to admit that I like Dr. Dre's album, The Chronic, which featured Snoop Dogg in his first performance. I think The Chronic came out in 1991 or 1992. Then again, I think I also liked it because it drove my parents insane... :rolleyes: :angel2:

Gil - I knew I knew the song! Thanks for jarring the memory.

Masaki

(both Amanda and I are kicking ourselves now for forgetting - especially Amanda who's a big Sting fan)

That particular album ("Dream of the Blue Turtles"????) has a prime location in my car CD player.
But the #1 DRIVING CD has to be Santana's ABRAXAS - AND MY COPY IS MISSING!!!!!!!

Arlene??? :)

Masaki

don't worry, we'll make our own party. :b:

it was missing long before i ever even sat in his car for the first time.

it's probably in the same place his camera's instruction book was...which was the same place he said he put it, but then couldn't find it. :b:

Arlene - you'd think that he'd have replaced it by now ... :)

Masaki

yes but you know the minute he replaces it, he'll find the first one. which wouldn't bother me as i'm a huge santana fan myself.
