Correct.
I am not a sports gambler or a gambler of any type. I did go to a casino and play a little blackjack oh, about 25 years ago. But zero interest in gambling.
My interest is in the game. I don't follow football at all. But since my daughter is going to the game (her Marching Band is playing Halftime, I think I mentioned it), and for local conversational knowledge, I wanted to get a sense on how likely it is that the Eagles may win or lose.

One thing that makes the game unusual is the fact that the Eagles are hosting a team that has been much, much better than them this year. If division winners didn't get an automatic berth, would the Eagles even be in the top 6 of the NFC? They might not, but they had the benefit of a really weak division.

Why not affect a beard like the rest of the young men?

I have been using the Gillette Mach 3 the past few years. I get a month or so from each disposable set of blades.

A combination of (a lack of) follicle density and impatience. I haven't yet been able to get past the annoyingly scruffy phase. Friends with more experience tell me that I could grow a passable beard, but I have my doubts.

But yes, theyve looked vulnerable in the past and won, and looked unstoppable and lost. If Derrick Henry is up to mangling them on Saturday that might just do it. Miss me with this newfangled high-flying offense, defense doesnt matter philosophy.

I get about a week from each cartridge... unless it's the last blade in the pack - that one usually has a service life of about three weeks until I get my ass to the store for new ones. It's a painful three weeks.

I have actually been to the PA Farm Show--twice. Neat for a one-time experience. Draft horse judging was really cool. Some gorgeous Percherons.
What was not cool was the cow that projectile pooped diarrhea in our direction. I suffered a only graze wound to the leg. The GF at the time got the worst of it. She got hit hard above the ankle. It ran down her leg into her sneaker, soaking her sock.

As a retiree I shave when I feel like it, unless we're going somewhere where I care how I look. So usually twice a week, tops.
