Son and Father


Cheering on the Irish to victory yesterday afternoon. I left late in the fourth quarter with the Naval Academy going down to certain defeat and then listened with fascination as they scared the bejeebers out of the Irish with a couple of touchdowns, a couple of recovered on side kicks and forty-one yards to cover and well over a minute to play to stage one of the biggest comebacks in football history. But, alas and alack, the magic stopped for the Midshipmen when a fourth down pass went awry and the Irish pulled out a squeaker, 27-21. From the photo, who would have thought that such interesting stuff was about to take place.

The Irish were really on their heels during the onside kicks. Navy wanted the game more than ND there towards the end. (If you insert the word "there" in odd places in your sentences, know who you start sounding like there?)

Answer: Sarah Palin
