A beautiful day for a football game

Good morning all --

We're coming up on 11 a.m., aka 2 hours to kickoff... It's pretty quiet here inside the stadium. There's only one or two Buffalo players on the field, along with some security personnel and camera people. Mike Vrabel just stepped onto the field and is jogging up and down the center of the field in his uniform pants and a sleeveless shirt.

Outside the stadium is a different story. Fans have been tailgating since at least 8:30 this morning, and Route 1 is at a crawl both north and south as people pour into the parking lots.

The weather is beautiful -- big, fluffy clouds in the bright blue sky.

As an aside, my parents and I took my daughter to Canobie Lake amusement park in New Hampshire yesterday. A brief thunderstorm slowed things down, but my daughter (who will be four next month) had a great time. There's a lot of kiddie rides there, and the mini whip (anyone who remembers the old Whalom Park in Lunenberg, Mass. knows the Whip well) was Jordyn's favorite. The prices at Canobie are really reasonable, and the park couldn't have been any cleaner. So basically, I'm trying to say that I highly recommend it, especially if you have young kids.
