I googled Cowboys vs. Eagles game. In an effort to reconcile with football (an ex subjected me to so many games that I burnt out and never looked back) and maybe be able to see Alan during football season. I googled the next Cowboys game trying to figure out if I need cable to watch it as Cindy offered to watch with me. Cindy and I are football neophytes. Our football education despite boyfriends/exboyfriends is limited. Here’s the list I found online of the Cowboys roster.

This is where I have a secret smile because I know what he means by “QB.”
