This weekend was great. Neal and I hit the road on Saturday for a football game in Greenville. The Pirates hosted the Wolfpack at Dowdy-Ficklen stadium on Neal's birthday! His present was a 34-20 Wolfpack win.

We arrived in Greenville around noon and joined Jack Warren, Ted & Shelley Melton, Tim & Lori Melton, Bucky, Kenny, Shannen and countless other Pirates for a pig-pickin' at the stadium's front door. I thought the parking lots at Carter-Finley were red....but East Carolina takes it to another level! Here are the top ten moments we witnessed:
10 - The Privateers Deck
9 - Celebrating First Down on Kickoff
8 - Jack leaving the stadium in the first quarter.
7 - "My tickets were in the middle of all the State fans!"
6 - Neal gets his picture taken with all the cheerleaders (see previous post)
5 - Having the band's rendition of the National Anthem drowned out by Friends in Low Places on the loudspeaker.
4 - Jack leaving the stadium (again) in the fourth quarter.
3 - First Down. Pirates. AAARGH!
2 - It's 3rd and 4 - "GO FOR IT" (from a male student behind us)
1 - "CATCH IT IN THE AIR!!" (from the same student)
TTFN!

Shoes. Forget music. Forget love. Aren't shoes the universal language? Just yesterday on Oprah, Jessica Seinfeld could not express her gratitude with mere words. She could not thank Ms. Winfrey - who helped launch Jessica's Deceptively Delicious cookbook last week - with a note. Or a song. Not a hug or a kiss.
So she thanked her with shoes. Twenty pairs.
So here are my shoes du jour. I don't own them. They own me. I walk where they walk. I dance where they dance. I strut where they strut. Follow us!
