Falcons- Eagles Revisited

At this time and on this day five years ago, we had already gotten a ride from a downtown Philly hotel to the airport parking lot from some guy that whiled away the time hand drawing patriotic bumper stickers like "KILL TERRARISTS!!"

We had persuaded an airport snow removal crew to use their front loader to clear a path for the RV so we were able to get it out of its spot regardless of the 6 inches of snow that had fallen the night before.

By this time five years ago, we had already gotten in to the tailgate parking lot because Baby Cogs had managed to save an extra spot next to a corner dumpster.

And by this time five years ago, we were playing Beirut on the Strapper-hand made playing table and it was so cold out that the beer in the cups and especially the foam was freezing during each of the games.

Perhaps the RV and the Eagles finest day.

Here's hoping the rest of that day is recreated again this afternoon.
