My son was at the Patriots-Jets game in Foxboro today.

Entertaining customers in a corporate Box suite on the 50 yard line.


Must have been a lot of fun. Hope he kept it in moderation as he has a 4 hour drive back to Bangor.

The first hour of his trip home is spent just getting out of the parking lot. Tough season for the Pats but he was there for a win!

They loved doing it. Great seats for the game, goodies and an audience.

I hope he has a good and safe trip home.

Directly across the street from there, company rented out some of the lot for parking during games. It really sucked coming in from out of state and it takes two hours to get the last 1.5 miles. Semis in traffic are not a good scene.

Then the company bought an old truck stop further south on Rte 1 in N. Attleboro or what's in between that and Foxboro. I ran all over the country with that outfit.

It was an interesting year+ to say the least.
