Despite jumping out to a 24-point lead, mental lapses on the part of the Patriots allowed the Jets to climb back into this one and make things interesting. In the end, the Patriots held on for a 24-17 win and a 2-0 record on the young season.
Thanks to Kathy and Jim Peabody for their great hospitality and excellent food and drinks while watching the game at their house.
The closeness of the game will add to the intrigue in the Darwin box at the rematch on Nov. 12.
The real news of the day however was that the Herreshoff Columbia Yacht Tender currently under construction in my garage had the interior fiberglass laid finally. Unfortunately, I glassed it in the morning, and as temperatures rose during the day, a number of gas bubbles occurred under the epoxy coated fiberglass. I will have to pierce these, insert epoxy with a hypodermic style plastic applicatior and then sand for hours. Next time, glass in the afternoon or evening when temperatures are falling. Good lesson.

When will this fabled craft be launched? I can see it now, the scene from Caddyshack, "I christen thee, the 'WASP'.
Or perhaps the Whiskey Tango.
"The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one."
Mature and humble ain't my strong suits.
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.
Patton got it right.
