Sandy's is the bar/restaurant owned by my friend Brian. I have been to Kallan's in Sugarloaf, it's OK but Sandy's is my home away from home.

Waxing a little nostalgic on this one, for a reason.
My father was a big Redskin fan. In 2001, Marty coached them and they started off embarrassing themselves with an opening day loss to the Chargers, 30-3. After Week 3, the Redskins were 0-3 with a point differential of -96 after getting bombed by KC.
I remember telling him "Don't worry Dad, Marty will get it right and they will get better." He died two days later of a heart attack while we fished in the surf at the Outer Banks.
Why did I bring this up? My father in law, who was a great comfort to me in the days and weeks after my father's death and is one of the most decent people I have ever known, died yesterday at age 85.
RIP Clint
Love you.

Condolences RamAirVA.
I know what it is like to loose people close to us. Makes the silly things we fight so hard for like sports seem trivial to say the least.
If I can do anything for you or your family, please let me know.

C - Thanks for the thought. Frankly, I can't decide which is worse...watching a loved one die in a flash (my Dad) or watch someone gradually deteriorate over time (my father in law).
Both suck equally bad.
Both suck equally bad.
Best memory of the San Diego Chargers? Dennis Gibson batting down that pass.
