Seriously. The Jaguars missed the playoffs this year, finishing 8-8 in the AFC South, so not often. Or so you'd think. Nick and I have seen him twice in 2007. First, he was on a random show that Nick was watching, a version of Pimp My Ride where they were re-doing a car for him. At the end of the show, he came on and inspected it and rode off.
Then, this last Sunday, Nick and I went out on a "date" and saw We Are Marshall at the dollar theatre. I thought it was a fantastic movie, although it was much, much sadder than I anticipated. It's about Marshall University, and how they rebuilt their football program after all but four players died in a plane crash on the way home from a game. It focused much more on the human reactions and much less on the actual rebuilding than I thought it would, but it was still very good. I especially thought Anthony Mackie did a great job in his role. If you're prone to crying at movies you're going to need some tissues though. Anyway, to tie this to the post title, at the end of the movie they showed some footage of famous players who came out of Marshall, and there was Byron! Two viewings in two non-football months from a player who isn't local and doesn't do any nationally televised commercials. Crazy.
Also - since this is vaguely a sports post, I'd like to add that the Twins home opener is on April 2nd and Nick and I will be there to cheer them on!! I can't wait to see Mauer and the gang again. I've been a little sad without a sport to follow. Go Twins!! :)

Ummm...I might have seen him 1,839 times this month. But then again maybe zero. I have no idea who he is. Sorry.
hmmmm...apparently no one else has seen him either. How many times have you seen Bobby Fisher this week? Or Jimmy Hoffa?
Either that or you're the only person who reads my blog!
Well, I am the favorite child. And that is becuase I am the nicest and smartest.
O and don't worry. With a little more practice and a few more years, you can have a popular blog like mine. ;)
Karin: If you had as many alter egos as Erin does I bet you'd have a popular blog too.
And anytime she claims to be the favorite child just remind her about the quilt
Mom says it is becuase she is hand quilting mine that it is taking so long. And she says it will probably be the ONLY one she ever hand quilts. Sounds like the favorite to me.
Thanks Sheep 15. Erin may think she's the favorite, but half of ours was hand quilted as well AND it's finished so that's saying a lot about who the real favorite is.
Nick?
No, Nick already has a quilt of his own.
O I thought Nick was teh favorite. But I guess if you are the baby and you cry you get yoru quilt first.
No, I'm the favorite because I take care of the previous favorite now. All of you have been bumped down to make room for me!
