It was a thing of beauty..
SAINTS WIN SUPERBOWL
Initial reports it may have been the most watched Television program in American history. I watched here in Thailand at 6:30 am with friends.
Even up by 14 points and less than two minutes to play, I held my breath until it was over.
Like all New Orleanians (OK, I only lived there 21 years so it's honorary at best), I shed tears of joy for the city that has waited 42 years for this moment.
Especially after Hurricane Katrina.
I still remember my first return to the city following the disaster. Katrina struck August 29th, 2005 and we were first allowed back into the city (dusk curfew still in effect) on October 19th.
Driving into the city, the first thing you really see that feels like "home" was the Superdome. Of course, just six weeks earlier it had been the refuge of last resort for thousands of people trapped by the storm.
As you drove past it, you could see the ravages inflicted on the building by the storm and it's aftermath.
Those scars are now beginning to heal.....
Bless You Boys!!!
