Can I eat my cake too?

It is tough when your two favorite teams play each other….just ask PaulA. I knew it was going to be a football dilemma for him when the Patriots and the Giants played last night. Who is PaulA gonna root for? Making that decision is like trying to decide who you like more…Kid A or Kid B…you have to pick one. Okay, that may be a little extreme. Or for me, it would be like…do I want chocolate mousse or chocolate truffle with my chocolate ice cream? See, it is this kind of dilemma you face when you have to choose between your two favorites.

So for the big game, PaulA had to choose one over the other…and he chose the Patriots. His first inclination is to root for the Patriots especially with their record breaking season, but then they were playing the Giants…the New York Giants. Eli hasn’t exactly been playing that great so you can’t help rooting for the kid…hoping Eli can look like a real quarterback…like his big brother. It is hard not to root for the team that you have been pulling for week after week…cheering them on…yelling at the TV screen. I would hear PaulA pulling for those Giants as he roped me into sitting next to him on the couch for the past umpteen weeks…assume the Sunday sitting position…6 or more hours on the brown leather couch. By the end of Sunday night, our butts would have a brown leather burn.

So last night PaulA had a huge helping of cake and got to eat it too. The Patriots won and broke lots of records along with Tom Brady and that Moss character. Plus the Giants played a great game. They rose above bumbling boob status and actually looked like contenders with a quarterback that could make plays. No major injuries. And both teams look good going into the play-offs.

So I was wondering PaulA …do you have an extra fork for that cake? After all, it was me sitting next to you getting the leather burn for all those weeks…..
