My dad calls as the Giants go to halftime. Says I must be a happy guy. I say "yup." He starts rambling on about how sweet our offense looks. How awesome the projection screen is at some bar he's at in Medford, with a room full of Giants fans. Most first downs in 17 years in a half. Etc.
Asks me if the Phils are still up 5-0. I say "yup."
Then he goes, "Oh, so your brother had a bit of a tough night last night. Seems he was peeing on the sidewalk, a cop saw him and he ran. They found him later, and he's still in the pokey."
I, stunned, don't say anything. My dad goes on to explain that he's still in lockup. As my dad is at a bar, watching the Giants, an hour and a half south.
The conversation ends, "Go Giants, Go Phils, love you buddy."
