It's a quiet day here as I try and plan out the rest of my week, so no proof that I'm working today. But I do have proof of contact back home, courtesy of a note from a dear co-worker who picked up the Philly Inquirer this weekend:
In the crossword puzzle -- Six letters, starts with E, clue is "Philly team."
Really, if you're gonna do this, don't you make the clue "Greatest football team ever" or "Local obsession" or "the cause of 5,422 heart attacks in the greater Philadelphia area on Super Bowl Sunday 2005" or something better than that?
Glad to see most of the draft picks are signed. Had a nice long conversation with a guy out here from Kansas City about how the AFC's best teams always choke in the playoffs. He couldn't wait to get back home for football either, although he said that Monday night football with Tuesday morning breakfast works out pretty well.

Actually, I didn't need to know what those barriers(in the pix in your last posting)were used for...now I am pretty freaked out!! And I missed that crossword puzzle...if I get time, will try to find it and save it for you. Have a great day. Much love.
Only 5,422 heart attacks? I would have thought there would have been more. It's so sad to hear the Eagles' fan base has fallen so far.
:'-(
Then again, I heard that Dawkins wants to finish his career as an Eagle and that's good enough news to keep me watching for years to come. Who am I kidding, I'd watch anyway.
:-)
hey, is stevie nicks coming to paka-afganastan? i saw the south park episode last night where the kids send $1 to the afgan kids and they send a goat as a thank you, but the south park kids don't want it so they put it on a military plane back to afganistan and the officers all think it's stevie nicks come to give a live performance to the soldiers. and towelie makes a guest appearance in which the south park kids tell him they don't want him around; so towelie says 'is it safe to say there's a towelie-ban?' hahaha, what a knee slapper... sorry, i wish it was a better episode, too.
oh yeah, i forgot to mention... mom, those barriers used to stop things are just for the zombie people infected with the rage virus (like in 28 days later) who can't really see 'cause there's puss coming out of their eyes and they're running really fast while convulsing and spewing all kinds of good stuff all over the place. the military doesn't want to clean up that mess...
Glad I could get to visit Fort Awesome. You sound good, despite everything.
The shore gang sounds like they're having a good time. Talked to Joanna last night and your Mom and sisters were there visiting. She tells me she keeps in touch with you via the Sea Isle Library!
Take care and know that you are being prayed for by me and all the nuns here. With love, Aunt Jul
so tom's power was knocked out by the storm last night. he has no power or water maybe through the weekend... also, he has nasty poison ivy all over, so he's pretty grumpy. i know you'll miss his comments for the next few days; and i'll miss him too (you don't expect me to hang out with a smelly, infected crank-pot, do you?)
i know you already had many reasons, but you should feel really good that you're not him right now!!!
Hay, buthead, it's your favorite sister. I visited Joanna yesterday and had soo much fun. At work we are having some changes,but I'll tell you what's going on later. Everyone is picking on me because I am a third child, what is with that? I'm just a regular person like everyone else. Your loveable sister,Kate.

Here's a fun diversion. One of Aunt Sue's crazy friends found this link to "Sloganize"
You add the subject to sloganize. Pick something fun.
I recommend the following starters.

OK. You get the picture, now get crackin'.
uncle joe, this sloganizer site is amazing!!! amoung my instant favorites are:
"easy, breezy, beautiful boogersnots,"
"the good boogersnots kids go for,"
"my anti-drug is fort awesome,"
"go on, get your fort awesome out,"
"the biggest quinn pennies can buy"
i could do this for days on end...
Let me be the first to say
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!
Happy Training Camp eve, Leo! Training Camp eve, that magical day of the year the represents the end of "Ordinary Time" during the year long celebration of Football. It's a day when we can all stop pretending to be interested as we watch the Phillies take a firm stance against educating children, while at the same time managing to lose 2.5 games per night. A day where you get to drop the adjectives "hopeless" and "obsessed" and be simply called "loser" for planning which kicker and defense you'll take in this year's fantasy draft.
Yes, the boys are headed to Lehigh tomorrow so let's celebrate! Dawkins will most likely be an Eagle forever and Marty Morningweg SWEARS that his offensive philosophy is (and always has been) to emphasize the run.
So, all together now, with all the spirit that such a day demands, let me hear it:
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!
P.S. Invincible (the Vince Papale movie) comes out right around the time you get back to the states. I can't think of a better way to celebrate that to go check it out. You pick the day.
wow. i thought that read 'the biggest quinn penises can by'. whew.
man, this will be twelve postings in one day. you're quite the popular fellow, young buck.
Hey Leo,
It's been great to get reports on how you're doing and what you've been up to! Take care of yourself and resist the urge to grow that Geraldo mustache.
Training camp starts this week at good ol' Le-high, so if there's any message you'd like sent to the Iggles, I can make flyers for the Fleet o' Luxury SUVs parked outside the English Department building. By the way, Dhani Jones was on the Colbert Report talking about his love for writing poetry, including improvised poetry. He "riffed" on the titles of a stack of books Colbert put on the table, and a poem that sounded remarkably similar to a man reading the titles of books. Next week Maya Angelou will be on to talk about her love of playing defense inadequately. It'll be TiVo-tastic!!! Have a great day!
I'll write again soon,
Bob
