Happy Retirement Bob

It's Wednesday night and they are expecting an ice storm in the morning so the schools are already closed.  Yay us.  Last Wednesday we got the now quarterly gifted newsletter.  It used to be be weekly.  Don't get me started.  

Back to the convention.  

It was a pretty nice day.  

That night we had a little get together.  

Bob the salesman is retiring after 30 years.  

I wish I got to see Kevin from Chicago more often. 

Back to the Borgata.  More Chinese New Year decorations.  

We went to a bar and we had some funny interactions with this drunk guy. 

 

Work in AC

Last Monday was momentous.  Aden drove himself to school!  We weren't ready but he sure was.  

He made it!  He left early so he wouldn't have to park between other cars.  

I thought this meme was funny.  Prices are coming down for the Super Bowl tickets so it's probably true nobody cares about this game.  

Eli worked with Mrs. Tara after school.  

Noah had a paino lesson.

Last Tuesday, Aden had a half day and ran into Michael Rappaport the actor at lunch.  

I left in the morning and drove to Atlantic City about an hour and half away.  

I went to a convention.  

One of our vendors is Arm & Hammer.  They always bring us goodies.  

My room at the Borgata.  

My view.  

Ariel was productive during her half day.  She went shopping in Newtown.  

I headed out to dinner.  

Awesome dinner at Cafe 2825 as usual.  Some of the best food you can get anywhere.  

My chicken parm with vodka sauce and spicy beef bolognese.  

Back to the Borgata.  They were set up for Chinese New Year.  

The place is under construction so much of the casino is walled off.  

It was weird to see it this way.  I played blackjack at $25 for an hour and only lost $95.  I see that as a win!

 

Eagles are NFC Champions!

Last Sunday, I practiced playing Fly Eagles Fly on the piano.  Fitting as Aden and I were heading to the NFC Championship Game.  

We left at 12, got to the stadium pretty quickly, by like 1 but then it took almost 2 hours to park!

When we finally parked we had to go through big crowds to get to the stadium.  

They only had small gates open.  

It was a nice day for football!  The Eagles were hosting the Washington Commanders, who had beaten the Eagles this season.  

Bradley Cooper was sitting behind us again.  

Here we go!  The people around us were so nice and in good moods.  

Finally, the Eagles dominated a game.  They were all so close all year but this was an actual blowout.  We danced around the whole time.  

 A guy we know was season ticket member of the game.  

They got to go in tunnel when the Eagles came out.  

We ran into friends.  

Great win guys!  We are headed to the Super Bowl!
