Doug Flutie, I never knew ye

Yeah, ok I’m missing the blog entries for my trip to Bangalore’s foss.in event. I promise to do that soon. In the meantime, I just read that Doug Flutie did some sorta drop kick which is great and kudos to him (as soon as I figure out what exactly a drop-kick is). I always thought it was some sorta wrestling thing. Anyway, the bit that dropped my jaw was this: Flutie is with the Patriots. When did that happen? More importantly, why is he following me around?

Seriously though. Flutie was quarterback for the Bills for a while. He joined them while I was in Rochester, NY (the town considers the Buffalo Bills to be the local team). He then went to play for San Diego the same year I went to Los Angeles to work. As you know (don’t yo?) LA doesn’t have a team, so once again, Flutie was in the next major city over (yeah, it’s a stretch to call either Rochester or Buffalo a major city, but they’re both about the same size city in that region of New York). Now, I’ve been in the Boston area for almost a year, and he joined the “local” team in March, a few months after I arrived.

Is my fate somehow tied to this Doug Flutie? And if this is his last year playing football, what does that mean for me?

OK, enough coincidences, I’m off to bed.
