College Football and … a Ghost?
Ever since my daughter started attending college at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, in 2021, we have wanted to attend a football game there. This weekend we finally had our chance.
Philadelphia Eagles at the Linc
As the Philadelphia Eagles season is finally upon us, it's great to be rocking our Birds gear once again. For the October 1st game against the Washington Commanders, my sister, cousin and I made our way down to Lincoln Financial Field to tailgate and attend the first Sunday home game of the season. This was also the first sunny day in a week or so of rain in the city, so it was fantastic to be outside and enjoy a warm fall day of football.
Football in the Queen City
My weekend in Cincinnati was centered on the football game between the Bengals and the visiting Seattle Seahawks. Making it more interesting, my married friends had divided rooting interests, as Tony cheered the Seahawks while JoAnne backed the Bengals.

With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.
Back to the Bears
A weeks ago I watched the overachieving Chicago Cubs take a tough loss. That weekend I switched sports but still saw a loss as the Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers in their season opener.
