Football, 143 Follow-up and Your Thoughts...

Football is Here...

The football season is here - and I feel extremely uneducated this year.  Joe was a huge football fan and really enjoyed his fantasy football.  Enjoyed might be an understatement.  He would read up on things, weeks before the season began, and every Sunday was dedicated to football.  Get up 9ish...make sure all your players are healthy and playing...get in your line-up in...run to Subway for the lunch...and head to Hubbard's to watch as many games as possible on multiple tvs :).

Although there were weekends when Joe's fantasy teams did not do so well, and his spirit was a little cranky, I miss seeing the excitement in his eyes - him sitting and yelling at the tv - or running around the house doing some sort of dance.  So to all you fantasy players out there - good luck...to all Joe's buddies -thank you for helping make each Sunday what it was for Joe.  

143 Follow-up

It was a busy weekend, and I put off my blog til this morning.  While I was lying in bed, I was trying to decide what to write...what to share.  (For those of you who know me - I am not much of a morning person and my brain doesn't start up til at least 8:30).  I rolled out of bed and thought I could share some writings of Joe's...I could post pictures...and then I crawled out of bed and noticed a picture missing from above my bed.  It was the 143 picture.  It had fallen at some point behind my pillow (thank goodness it didn't hit me in the head).  So it was my sign to share some comments / thoughts others have shared with me about the license plate and its meaning...

A friend of mine took a moment to try and figure out the odds of getting a license plate number with 143...Based on the approximate number of registered vehicles in MN, the chances of me getting 143 as my 1st three numbers was...1 in 17,576.  Amazing!  (Thanks to the wonderful lady who helped figure this out - I would still be stuck on how to even begin.)

Another question I had pondered was - what did HHM stand for.  Here are some of the ideas I received...
-Heavenly Heart Message
-Hilarious Handsome Man
-He Has Made-it
-Hemmings Heros (M-?)
-Hearts, Hugs, and Memories
-Hubert Humphrey Metrodome
-Holy Hot Mama

Your Thoughts...

As I get ready to sign off here for the week and head into work - I would like to extend this offer to anyone out there...

If you would like to share a blog post - a memory of Joe, a story that has inspired you, some good advice - or just a funny joke, please send me an email at teamvogel@hotmail.com.  (Pictures are welcome too.)

Here's to hoping everyone had a great weekend - and thank you to all who shared in mine.

Sending my love -
