marriage

When I first met my husband, on a blind date, he warned me that he was from Charelestown, Mass. and he was a fanatical NE Patriot fan.

What's a New England Patriot? I asked.

I was raised in Delaware. The closest NFL team was the Eagles but I had no allegiance. I was a free agent. I could support the Patriots.

In 14 years of marriage, I have learned a lot about the diehard Boston sports nut. We had our house  built on Lot #11, which was Drew Bledsoe's number at the time. Our living room is red, white and blue with framed sports pages from the Boston Globe. We have Patriot shoelaces, tissue boxes, toothbrushes, Christmas ornaments, flags, pillows, clothing. My husband won't let me move any furniture and he won't change his toothbrush during the season because it might jinx the team.

For those of you who don't know Jeff Dunham is a Ventriloquist who has half a dozen characters he works with.  His latest cd that was released in September and is called "Insanity Strikes"  You can catch shorts of his videos on You Tube or you can buy them at Amazon.com for around $8

Some might be critical because he's not perfect when it comes to being able to hide his mouth and throat movement but if you're interested in being entertained rather then being picky the man is hillarious.  There is some profanity, not alot but you have the option to hear the sensored version on the cd.
