Okay, an itinerary of sorts for the weekend. This is as much for my reference benefit as it is sheer gloating: I'm going to an NFL playoff game in the Superdome and the rest of you aren't.

• Friday
• 6 PM: Amanda gets off work
  
  Saturday
• 12 AM: Amanda, her sister and niece's estimated arrival at hotel, not my apartment (This is why I'm "off the hook.")
• 9 AM: Breakfast somewhere, probably IHOP
• 11 AM: final shopping at Black & Gold
• 1:30 PM:Parking at St. Joseph's cathedral in the Medical Center district, walk to tailgate party
• 3:30 PM: Watch Archie's son get leveled, probably multiple times, on a field in Baltimore.
• 6:30 PM: Get in the dome.
• 11:00 PM: Finish watching Archie's team not suffer the same fate
  
  Sunday
• 9 AM: Church
• 12 PM: try and whip up that chicken marsala recipe I found/mentally altered in a quick fashion, serve to the visiting family.
• 2 PM: Amanda & co. depart for Monroe

At least that's my plan, anyway. It's really tenative.

P.S. I discovered a website called Cooking for Engineers. Amazing....
