Giants Dispatch Arizona
We went on the road to the stadium where we won the Super Bowl last year. Kurt Warner has been playing like the Kurt of old, so this stood to be a good challenge. The first 3 quarters were a back and forth battle,…

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way.

Dulles AeroTrain
I had to fly United out of IAD today. I got to the airport a bit early, and decided to go check in at the Admirals Club so they would get credit for me stopping by. I was a victim of very good timing…
