good talk

The First "Monday Night Football" Game was September 21, 1970 with the Cleveland Browns Playing and Defeating the New York Jets 31-21. It was the Idea of Art Modell, the Owner of the Browns and so They Gave Him the First One. My Younger Brother Tom was a Senior in High School and He and his Friends Went Up to Cleveland from Akron to See This. All We Knew was that it was a NFL Game on a Strange Night, Nobody Knew That it was Going to Become a National Institution. That Tom Would Be Doing a Hundred-Mile Roundtrip in Going to This on a School Night Would Indicate that He Liked to Have a Good Time. Poor, poor Tom. From Rosario I took a 4-Hour Bus Ride to Buenos Aires. Marshall Loeb in his Column Called Buenos Aires the "Paris of South America." Actually There's no Louvre Facsimile or Anything Else that Reminds Me of Paris There, I Guess What Marshall Meant Was That It's a Real Good Place and That You'll Be Glad That You Went There. I Went to the "Boca Juniors Stadium" in the La Boca Section of Buenos Aires Where Native Son Diego Maradona Once Starred, Many or Most Consider Maradona and Pele to be the Best Football (Soccer) Players of All-Time. I Looked at the Stadium and the Museum Within. I Stayed 5 Nights in the Hub of the City, just $23 a Night, Pretty Decent and Just Down From a Sheration. I Was Just in Buenos Aires 2 Years Before but Saw More and Did More This Time. I Had the "Bife Lomo," the Best Steak in the World, it Comes From Cattle Fed on the Grass of the Pampas. I Went to the Pink Presidential Palace From Which Balcony Eva Peron Would Charm an Adoring Crowd. A Movie and Stage Star she Married Juan Peron, the President of Argentina. A Champion of Women's Rights and of the Downtrodden, the Beautiful Evita died from Uternine Cancer when she was "33." Much of the Established Power said Hooray for Cancer and were glad to See the Last of Her but She is Mourned Even Today by the Masses That She Tried to Help. Going to the Cemeterio de la Recoleta and to Evita's Family Crypt (Maria Eva Duarte) is a Right of Passage for all Visitors to Buenos Aires. The Catedral Metropolitana right across from the Pink Palace has the Crypt of the Liberator, Jose de San Martin. Most of What I Saw and Did in Buenos Aires I Just Walked to but for Things Further Out, the Stadium called "Lo Boca" and the Zoo (pretty good) I Used B.A.'s Excellent Subway Sytem (a City of 13 Million Needs One).
