Thank you, Annierose.
My therapist gives the most interesting compliments.
I got a bit teary on the game that put the Saints into the Superbowl. I guess because it was here and that victory lap meant so much to fans who were so faithful for so many years of some pretty awful football. I've never been one of the faithful, but I know so many who were. Towards the end of the game my son was begging us "Please don't cry if they win!" I told him I wasn't likely to cry, and he said he didn't mean me, he meant Dad. :)
Some of the schools gave the kids the day off Tuesday so they could go to that humongous parade they threw in honor of the returning champions. It was, literally, awesome to see so many New Orleanians getting together like that. Not that I did, thank heavens. We offered the chance to my son, but he's not all that crazy about tight packed crowds either.
(And I did get a bit teary when Drew Brees picked up his baby son and teared up himself. But my husband turned to my son and said "Do you remember when I played on the team that won the Superbowl when you were one, and I held you up like that?" which made us all laugh and kept me from upsetting my son by - gasp! - actual tears.)
