Cavorting with the Enemy

David came to town for a business trip that happened to coincide with a Redskins / Seahawks game. Even though it was a school night and kind of a late game, we took Robert along to his first NFL game (decades younger than my first NFL game).

It was sad to see the Washington Federals lose. But the Seahawks were just a better team than the Washington Contractors. Maybe next year, the Washington Gridlocks will have an uninjured star quarterback.

And maybe next year the name of the Washington, DC football team will be more settled (at least in minds other than Dan Snyder’s).

That part is really not important.

We stayed until just before the bitter end — with 21 seconds to go and down by 10, it seemed pretty clearly over. And all of us had a great time (even a tired Robert). It was fun to catch up with David and meet a couple of his co-workers (regardless of the fact that they were fans of that NW team which happens to be a recent Super Bowl Champion and managed to just barely squeak out a victory against a clearly superior squad from DC).
