Patriots 17, Bills 10

Spent the weekend in the city except we drove to St. Catharines on Sunday morning to see my mom after her latest surgery. 8 operations on her right arm alone since 2002. This was an important one and she's doing pretty well considering everything.

Siobhan has struggled for days now with a 750 word column on the latest developments in research in a journal for library professionals. She says she needs to de-politicize it or tone down the opinions in it so as not to throw off the readership with a return to the old capital/labour struggle. These are librarians after all. She reads me excerpts and then re-drafted excerpts. I say that they represent her research perspective. She says that the field of librarianship is short on Marxists right now so it's a sort of a tough audience for this kind of dialogue. Maybe I'm just used to it.

Well, the Bills last beat the Patriots in the 2003 season opening game. 13 in a row and 19 of 20 now. Moving right along then - next up: at Atlanta to face the Falcons who are also not going to the playoffs. We will be in Moncton, New Brunswick over Christmas then in Muskoka from the 30th to January 3rd, 2010, the date of the last game of the season against Indianapolis.
