Sunday was the Superbowl. I have to tell you, it was an an exciting game. There was no huge superbowl party for me this year. Too bad where I wanted to be wasn't an option. I had thought that my cousin was going to watch the game at his place, but I was torn between having food and friends or being at home comfy with my HD TV. Me wanting to have the best of both worlds, got a bright idea and quickly packed up my TVs cords and speakers in a backpack and I loaded the TV in my car. I called ahead and found out that I had misunderstood and that they were watching the game at a friends place. At this point I just said in response to what's up?, "oh yeah I'm just here at home hanging out." I turned back around, and reinstalled (I used that word because mine has a lot of cords) the TV to watch the game from home. Thank goodness for the dvr, but it doesn't work as well when you actually want to watch the commercials. My favorite quote I heard before the game was, "the Patriots can't have a perfect season and win the superbowl, that just isn't right, nobody should be able to do that." I too was cheering for the underdog. The end of the game was very exciting. I was texting away, going crazy in anticipation and fear. I was so happy to see them pull it out. Even though the score was off in number, Kieth Olbermann was exactly right about his prediction that the Giants would win. He claimed they would come back in the 4th quarter and Eli Manning would lead his team to win the game. He knows his sports. I respect my Cornell Alumn.
Here was the Play of the Game!Oh I put that quote up today because I still enjoy getting phone calls. But I'm guessing once you are older you also get more calls you don't want to answer. I used to have my own phone line in my room, which I guess is equivalent to the iphones high school kids carry around with them now.
This weekend I took a last minute trip down to the Valley. Sometimes when you feel you are trying to be there for someone, you end up finding out that they ended up truly being there for you. It means so much to know my advice can be helpful. The lens through which you see the world dramatically changes how it affects you.I don't know why people are not more upset over the price of gas. I sometimes feel like, well maybe I'm the only one that can't spend almost 50 bucks each time I fill up my car. I'm sure everyone is hurting, but what can we do? I can complain, but that doesn't do too much. I could drive less, which I try to do, but it is inevitable in life that you will need to drive, for work, for food, to visit friends. It is cheaper for me to fly to the valley than to drive. I used to be able to compare the price of driving to NYC from DC to taking the Bus, but flying, I mean really? As you can tell I need to fill up today and am not looking forward to it.
I saw some kids playing football when I was driving home last week and I had this irrestible urge to go and play with them. I just love playing football, but I don't get to play enough. Basketball you need two people, but football you need at least 4. I really love that game. I wish I played more informal games like that more often, but other than real football, I haven't played touch football since early college.
I just noticed that this year is a Leap Year. I think that is the coolest thing. I remember being little and finding out about leap years. I just didn't make sense, you add an extra day every four years, I mean I just had to trust it made it all work out. Also the idea of every 4 years seemed like an eternity, but maybe because at the time it was about the length of half my lifetime.
Groundhog day came and went. I hear we are going to get more winter. This year I didn't follow and would of forgotten about this day if not for a text message from Angie.
Super Tuesday is coming....I can't wait. I don't even know who to root for, but I'm excited.
