the route 7 or 48 bus trek. It'9:44 PM I just caught 48 bus heading home. I found out the Eagles choked against the Dolphins. Dallas and the NY Giants also lost so the Eagles had a chance to TIE for 1st Place. Well some are pissed off at Coach Chip Kelly. The Eagles are like the state budget man! They are a mess! Well I cooked some pasta and stayed up too late. Gonna pay for this one.
