TODAY IS THE DAY
Don't Bother Calling
Today's the day. The day the Philadelphia Eagles may, and I hope and pray will, after having beaten some ragtag group of nobodies from one of those cracker states, one of the Carolinas, I think, win the National Football Conference championship for the first time in more than 20 years.

Fellow Philly blogger Adam Bonin will, I assume, be watching from his fabulous season-ticket seats at Lincoln Financial Field. Don't you just hate him? Just for this, I mean. Forget the thriving law career and the incredibly (and deservedly) successful novelist wife. And Lucy. Don't forget Lucy. (And Wendell. Mildred said make sure to mention Wendell. He's a little guy.)
Me? Look for me either at a local tavern or, more likely, listening at home on the radio. (No TV here at Rittenhouse.)
By the way, if you telephone me between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. this evening, forget about getting an answer.
Oh, and I think the Colts are playing the Patriots. Maybe today. Soon anyway. Who cares, except to the extent the outcome affects the Eagles? Wait, one of my brothers-in-law cares, which is basically the same as saying, well, nobody.
