He is upstairs watching what I assume will be the last game of the World Series…sorry Cubs fan but we know you know how to handle the disappointment.  I’m downstairs watching the Cowboys/Eagles game.  Unfortunately because of a football pool, I’m forced to root for the Dallas Cowboys.  I’d rather eat liver but football pool Read more
