Pictures unrelated to post











This past weekend was my birthday and one of the festivities included going to the Colts/Bills game. It was our first Colts game. We had great seats... 15th row behind the bench. The RCA dome is so small compared to the RayJ! It could almost be described as intimate. (I took some pictures with my phone and hopefully I'll figure out how to post them at a later date.)

Okay, the thing that was sooooo different from any other sporting event I've ever been to? The crowd was soooo polite! When the Colts had the ball, the entire dome was hushed... I could hear Peyton plain as day! I even called my sister during a Colts drive and had no problem hearing her! When the Bills had the ball, the dome got much louder, but really not so bad. (and other teams have complained that they "pipe" in crowd noise... oh please, a room full of 2 year olds is louder!) And I don't know if any of you saw the game, but it was ugly. The Colts won, but only by one point and the grace of God... they played awful! You would think that the fans would voice their displeasure with the teams performance, right? Believe it or not, there was not one collective "boo" until the end of the fourth quarter when it looked like they might lose. I couldn't believe it! In Tampa, the crowd would be booing after the 2nd bad play!
And lastly, but the real kicker... the owner of the Colts sent a letter to the season ticket holders complaining about the fact that some fans stand throughout the whole game and that fans should not get intoxicated. I think it's great that he sent the letter, but I don't think the same thing would fly over too well in Tampa.
It's not that Indiana is so religious or conservative (well, maybe conservative)... it's just a weird place!

Those two little girls are strange and wonderful. Thank you for recommending my services way back when.
