Awesome, Sports. When did you get into the skins?

My wife moved to DC in 1969 because she had a job in this area. We spent a year "apart" and seeing each other on weekends because I was finishing up grad school. I moved here in 1970 and have been here ever since.

Obviously, I am a sports fan and if you live here and you are into NFL football, it is pretty obviousl where your interests and attention and focus will be.

Sports: I also moved to DC in 1969. (I was born three months earlier in NYC!) I agree: if you like football, and you're in the DC area, it's all skins. I have found that skins fans are very unlikely to switch alligiance when they move (but maybe this is true with most NFL teams). I've grown to like the Knicks, to tolerate the Rangers and Mets, but I can not stand the sight of giants or jets paraphenalia, much less the teams themselves.

Anyway, your expertise is much appreciated, even if you do tend to rain on our overly optimistic, pie-in-the-sky parade-like scenarios! Cheers.

JWsleep:

Raining on parades is what curmudgeons do. I prefer to view it as a way for my generation to "keep it real".
