An investment in Sylvie's future

That is how I choose to view the decision to take up my friend on his offer of a slot in a consortium of Patriots' season ticket holders. I have been on the ticket waiting list since 2001... along with who knows how many Super Bowl band-wagoners. No luck. So when this offer came around to buy into a group of ticket holders with field-level seats, 15 rows off the turf... well...

Here's the view from today's home season opener. Tell me I made a mistake...

I brought Sylvie home a Revis jersey. Every Sunday through the season: she's Sylvie Island.
