While for many that may have been the place to me, there was no doubt that I needed to leave and get back home to New Orleans for the main event. The day itself gave signals of different kinds of things happening from the get go, so it all made sense that it would end with the strangest of all being the Saints finally winning the Super Bowl.


I spent an hour of the morning with my father at a Starbucks, (That was the second strangest event of the day) before I headed to the airport. I was upgraded to first class, undoubtedly because I was wearing a Saints shirt, on my first leg to Atlanta. That's when I saw out of the corner of my eye John Bell, lead singer for Widespread Panic. While this isn't the first time I met him (The first was in a hotel lobby 5 years ago at 2am with half my pants ripped off and a phone cord wrapped around my head. I don't think he recognized me though) I was a bit nervous. I am known to make a fool of myself in front of famous or even quasi famous people. A couple of free vodkas in and I was ready to make my move. Still slightly shaking I went up and told him I look forward to seeing him at Jazzfest and would he mind a quick picture. Score! If I could summon the courage for this certainly the Saints could dig deep to stop Peyton Manning.


I made it home in time for kick off and shot over to my buddies house to join my wife and kids for the game.
