The camera was fixed and delivered about 4 hours before kickoff. Unlike the Ravens, I didn't drop the package as soon as the Fed Ex person handed it to me.
Nicole enjoyed her first real Ravens game and was all dressed up, as you can see. There wasn't much good to come out of it, though, except for these pictures. Plus, we learned that the magic cookies still have some of their powers. For those who don't know, eating Jessica's chocolate chocolate chip cookies brings good fortune to the Ravens. It all started last year when the cookies brought them back from a 21-0 hole against Tennessee. In fact, I packed some cookies when I flew to Louisville on the day of the playoff game against the Colts. However, they lost my luggage -- with the cookies inside -- and I didn't get it until it was too late.
Fortunately, Jessica had just whipped up a batch of the cookies this weekend. They were in the freezer, waiting for Yom Kippur, but the Ravens needed the help early. So, with them trailing 19-13 in the fourth quarter, we quickly wolfed down a cookie. About a minute later Ed Reed ran back a punt for a touchdown to put them team up 20-19. Sadly, that was all the cookie could do, as their powers are no match for Billick's play calling or the referees' penalty calling. I won't be surprised if Nicole's first words are "Why the hell aren't they running the ball?" after I was shouting it for the last 6 minutes of the game.
Looking forward to a better result on Sunday. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures.
