Superbowl thoughts.

Yes, as a New Englander, I'm disappointed that the Pats didn't win. However, seeing the Pats win was tertiary to me. It was on the list, but the PRIMARY thing I wanted to do was go over to my Nonnie and Papa's house and spend time with them, my father, my aunt and uncle, one of my cousins, and a cat. And guys on that side of the family don't usually say, "Hey! I'd like to spend time with you, because I love you!" So, "Can we come over to watch the Superbowl, because you just got that really great television for Christmas?" is a good excuse.

The second thing I wanted to see was a really good football game, and I saw that. There were some brilliant plays, on both sides, and some absolutely heartbreaking fumbles. There were two drives by the Pats where they did everything right and it was just beautiful to see. Lis's comment was, "Well, the Patriots played a very good middle of the game . . . "

The third thing I wanted to see was the Patriots win the Superbowl. But, as Meatloaf says, "Now, don't be sad/'Cause two out of three ain't bad."

didn't know that you watched the game with family - I'm glad of that - I was dancing at the Communion service at Havenwood, also a spiritual experience :) - so glad you had a good time

Yep, Dad and Meghan were there, and Bob and Annie came over for the second half. It was a lot of fun. Football is okay to watch on one's own, but it's much, much better in a group.

My LJ SpyBot tells me that someone's Mom is having a birthday next month. Hope there's big doin's planed!

My Dad's Birthday was in March. He would have been 88 years old. I go over to the cemetery and leave a can of Diet Pepsi and a bag of sugar-free jelly beans.

Humans are weird, but I'm glad I'm one of them! :o)
