Saturday, Pennie and I went to see the Cowboys take on the Texans in the first preseason game of the year. The Texans won the game and it was downright funny how many Texans fans were treating this like it was a SuperBowl win. I guess when you’ve never been to one (or even to the playoffs,) beating the Cowboys’ backups can seem like a big deal. Parcells is much too smart to use the first preseason game for anything other than talent evaluation. As the Texans bandwagoners were shouting “Dallas Sucks” and coming up to me asking, “Hey, excuse me – can you tell me the score?” I would answer back “5 to nothing. Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you meant SuperBowls.”

We met Ed and Margie for dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse before the game. It was great to sit and chat with them.

Here they are just before we got off the light-rail at the stadium.

They grabbed a shot of us… check out my baby in her Cowboys’ gear…

And who do we meet at the game? None other than Manny “The Dark Diver” and Mighty Mike .

Here I am chewing out the Texans coach…
