On the occasion of celebrating 75 years as a franchise, the Philadelphia Eagles provided fans with as close to a stress-free experience as is possible for an Eagles fan. They scored touchdowns on their first five possessions.

Donovan McNabb completed 14-of-15 passes for 332 yards and four touchdowns in the first half.

Running back Brian Westbrook had two touchdowns rushing and one receiving as he posted his second career 100-yard rushing/100-yard receiving game.

Wide receiver Kevin Curtis tied an NFL record for most receiving yards in the first half with 205, he also had a total of three touchdowns.

In Trenton, NJ, a lunchtime gathering was held at City Hall protesting the prosecution of black youths (the Jena 6) in a race-based incident in Jena, Louisiana. Later, demonstrators formed a human chain and held hands across the "Trenton Makes" bridge, which crosses the Delaware River between PA & NJ.

Hamilton Township's 25th Annual Septemberfest was well-attended to say the least. If you don't know, it's a huge festival held in Veteran's Park featuring things like crafts, food, family fun, entertainment and a Baby Crawl Contest. These young, but tenacious athletes don't go to school and don't hold jobs, but they train for most of their lives for this competition. Parents will use any trick they can think of, bending the rules of fair play without hesitation, to cajole their future track star across the finish line ahead of the others.

The A.J. Meerwald, New Jersey's Tall Ship passes under the Burlington-Bristol Bride (the center section raises up) on a visit to the Burlington Riverfront Promenade.

OK. You be the editor. Here are two different pictures from an assignment, the unveiling of a new logo on the ice at Sovereign Bank Arena. The Trenton minor league hockey team is now affiliated with the New Jersey Devils club. Do you have a preference?

This one:

Or this one:

Or how about turning it on its side?

OK, now you have to defend your decision. Wait a minute. I forgot. You're the editor. What you say, goes. No explanation necessary ;)

Last Sunday, I was assigned nothing but one baseball game, The Trenton Thunder, so I gave myself an assignment. The Red Cross was having a blood drive at St. Mary's Cathedral in Trenton. I thought that was an unusual place for a blood drive. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the church. but downstairs in the cafeteria. Oh well, looking for something interesting, I found a young mother with her child to focus on. As I was imagining what nice pictures would come of the little girl with her mother donating blood, the kid's grandmother took her away! Boo. Anyway, when the donating was done. I scurried for position while the donor's mother and daughter spontaneously showed their approval for what the woman had done. The next day I noticed a story on the wire saying that blood banks are seeking out donations from people of Latino heritage because it turns out that Latinos are more likely than the average American to have Type O blood, the type blood banks value most because it can be used by so many patients.
