A couple of quick notes and then I’m off to finish the pre-Super Bowl preparations…

  • Black History Month starts today.
    It’s a good opportunity to learn about facets of American history of which you may not have been aware.

  • For : You win again this week. I only got 1.9 games (157 and a 120-something in the 9th). We had more people show up than normal and only had one lane. *sigh* There’s always next weekend…
  • : It was good meeting you (finally). I hope that we didn’t scare you or make you think “I never want to be seen with these people again…”
  • Groundhog Day is tomorrow. I’m not sure that I care whether or not Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not: Winter weather in Utah lasts (more or less) for eight months. We’ll still be seeing snow well into April or May.

Football Wrap-Up

Carolina at New England
Super Bowl XXXVIII
Kickoff: 6:25 PM ET
This is what twenty weeks of football comes down to. There has been a lot of talk in the news about this not being a glamorous Super Bowl – because there aren’t any “big teams” or “big stars” in it. Correct me, if I’m mistaken, but didn’t Tom Brady lead the Patriots to a Super Bowl victory just two years ago? I think so. In fact, I’m positive that he did.

On a more basic level: It’s a good excuse to have people over and have a party.

And, it should go without saying that I would like to see the young upstarts from Carolina win the game.

And now… off to finish getting ready.

Namaste.
