I remember some serious losing seasons...year before they won that first Super Bowl they were 5-11. Lots of 2-14 and 1-15 seasons, too. They made it to the Super Bowl only twice before 2001 and lost spectacularly both times. I really didn't get into football much before I met Jason in late 1998, so I only really started paying attention in 1999, but because I have lived in New England most of my life, I couldn't avoid at least hearing how bad the Patriots were.
As for my weekend, I spent it cooking - made an awesome beef stew for me and Jason, and an apple crisp for my friend Michael. Also made a really good baked mac and cheese from scratch. Watched some movies, watched the Pats game, and walked the dog. We're trying to get in a vigorous three mile walk in the woods every day, which gets a little more difficult at this time of year when it's pitch black by 5 PM, but we manage. Today, it's pouring and extremely windy, so we'll probably skip the walk today.
