Lombardi!

(This is from a note Grandpa sent yesterday.)

Just finished watching HBO piece on Vince Lombardi. It reminded me when we were watching the final game of the NFL season Dec 31, 1967 at the Sandfield home on Wentwood in Dallas. The Cowboys were leading the Packers 17-14. The Packers were at the Cowboys goal line but tried twice to put it over without success. With seconds remaining on 4th down Bart Starr put the ball over on a quarterback sneak. As he did, I yelled, "Yea!" at the top of my voice. The room fell quiet; I had forgotten I was in a room of Cowboy fans and my hosts.

A Point of view

Last night Yvette and I watched a movie. Afterward I turned the tube off and as I often do, said, "Let's talk." It's a way for her to talk about anything that comes to mind; it can be our children, the women who help take care of us, the next ballet program, or about how we met.

We talked for a while and then I told her," I've been sweating. I need to shower. I stink." She sniffed me, then shrugged her shoulders, "I thought all men smelled that way."
