GO PATRIOTS

In 2008 I watched the New England Patriots play the New York Giants in Superbowl XLII from halfway around the world in Pattaya. My team had coasted to a 19-0 record and were looking to close out a perfect season. Destiny was thwarted by a late drive in which the Giants QB miraculously connected with his receiver to propel them into history 17-14. I drowned my sorrow in beer. Four years later the two teams are meeting in Superbowl IXL. I left Pattaya two weeks ago for New York via Luxembourg and London. Everyone in this city is rooting for the Giants, even Jets fans. But not me. I remain true to my roots. It's GO PATRIOTS from start to finish. And I can always drown myself in beer no matter what.
