Broncos

Pops rolled into town for my berfday. Sigh, 24. As Jono Howard says, "your mid-twenties". Great birthday present have pops see my new hood and whatnot. I showed him Union Station, the 16th St. Mall, we even went to Rockmount. Rockmount is famous for outfitting the likes of John Wayne, Eric Clapton, Tom Hanks, Clark Gable, Bob Dylan, and the Boss. Really cool store. Full of western wear. Been around forever. After that pops took me to a cajun restaurant called Gumbo, where I can honestly say I had one of the best meals of my life. I had the Chicken Dixie, stuffed with creamed spinach, wrapped with apple wood smoked bacon and topped with sautéed crabmeat. Served over herb buerre blanc sauce. As we all know, anything is better wrapped in bacon. So good.

Sunday pops and I went to the Broncos game. And what a game it was. We had seats in the nosebleed section, but then moved down to the 4th row on the 5 yard line, perfect for the final minutes of the game. We were right there as Eddie Royal (NOVA baby) caught the winning touchdown and 2pt conversion. I will never cheat on my Redskins, but it is exciting living in a city that has a team. We are 3 train stops away from the stadium. How can you not cheer for them?
