The Donkeys Went Down!

I haven't taken the time to blog and quite frankly, I'm pretty tired right now so I won't be able to blog much. However, I do have to follow up on the Tony G post from the other day. The Chiefs won on Sunday and I have been riding the high ever since. The Broncos fans are all walking around here with long faces (total pun and you can boo if you wish). Well they can get over it! However, Tony G ended up 1 yard shy of Shannon Sharpe's record. The good news? They play this coming weekend and I'm pretty sure Tony can get that yard. So Shannon Sharpe?? Too bad!!

C'ya!

A Memory Brought Back

I'm in Omaha, Nebraska. The air is thick and making sitting outside chilly. My hair is frizzy because the moisture makes the natural curl come out even after I spent hours making it straight. It is so foggy I can't see where I am driving in a city I used to know so well. My allergies are back because it is that time of the year here in the Midwest. The Western horizon shows nothing but a flat mass of nothingness.

Did I really live here for so long? I guess I seem to have forgotten.

I love being close to family: dinner, hanging out, chatting up all that is going on in life all face-to-face rather than via a blog or a chat window. A short drive and I can go shopping with my sister and a few extra minutes (okay an hour) and I am sitting in my childhood living room watching satellite television with my parents. A little further and I'm hanging out with my younger brother again. I miss that I will admit. I'm seeing all of those little babies growing up before my eyes, but from a distance. My nephews are taller than I...I wish we could all be closer but I don't miss ALL things Nebraska.

Actually, I miss the mountains...

C'ya!

Something for next Sunday

Everyone keeps telling me that they hope the Chiefs pick up the pace on Sunday and go ahead and beat the Broncos. While I am always hopeful, this season appears to be a little tough to keep that optimism. However, there is something that I would LOVE to be able to see this Sunday. That is the following to come true:

Chiefs nine-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez (10,011) needs just 50 yards to surpass TE Shannon Sharpe (10,060) for the most receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history. He needs just four more yards against the Broncos to become the first tight end in league annals to own 1,000 career receiving yards against three different franchises (Denver, Oakland and San Diego).

How cool would it be for Tony G. to get this record against the team Shannon Sharpe played for so many years?? That would be something to write home about.

So here's to Tony G. getting the record and hopes that the Chiefs will beat the team that seems to think they are good...but are in fact, just lucky.

C'ya!
