What a great way to start my first year in NY -- a tremendous upset by the NY Giants to win the Superbowl.
I travelled over to Jersey City to watch the game at a local bar with my friends from New Year's. It was great fun being with a large group of cheering fans. We stood throughout the second half as it got more exciting, and one guy started us all chanting, "Let's go Giants, let's go! [stomp, stomp]" as if they could hear us...
When the time ran out and our win was secure, people were hugging and high-fiving complete strangers. The excitement filled the air all the way back to the city, with cheering crowds everywhere.
Unfortunately, I have to miss the ticker-tape parade this morning to attend a client meeting in Jersey. Walking by City Hall last night, (where the parade concludes with speeches by players, coaches and the mayor) I saw the preparations in building a scaffold and hanging NY Giants banners. This morning, the streets were already beginning to fill with blue, white and red-decked fans.

Sounds like a lot of fun. How's the delivered meal thing going?
Oh, I stopped it. Too many bell peppers in their meals, which I'm allergic to!
Go Giants!
Neato! Congrats on your new home team!
That sounds like so much fun, and I don't even like football!
