Super Bowl Preview

Saturday evening - 6:11 PM - Finals for the Super Bowl!! YEA!!.... And B just knocked over the clock that records the outside temps that is now working... and it's 10 outside.. and, from the looks of what we see on TV, we are not that much warmer than Green Bay!!!!

We are in the lower level family room... drinks in hand waiting for dinner to cook.... long distance.... an easy oven thing with chicken and stuffing, sour cream, frozen mixed veggies and bake and serve. ANYWAY, the guys that we like to listen to look ready to deal with the cold. I like Howie but he needs to shave!!!

The local paper (Scranton) had an interesting lead in... First page of Sports section Headline "Playoff freeze" with a sub heading of "plummeting temperatures mean frozen balls and sleeveless jerseys". Only in PA... This headline caused me to remember an episode I had back in the days when I was a new Vice-Principal. The kids were playing this game where they threw the ball up against the wall and then someone else hit it...anyway, I went over the intercom to all the classrooms before the lunch time and said something to the effect of "Students should be careful about throwing their balls up against the wall". As I turned the intercom off, I looked at my secretary and said "I can't believe I said that!" I can't tell you how many responses I got about that. My teachers really kidded me ... and so the headlines 20 years later brought back those memories.

Back to the game on TV. Terry Bradshaw looks warm and Jim Johnson with his head band does too. The really cool guy is Howie Long with his goofy hat and Hollywood guy wannabe beard. These guys are cool and we really enjoy listening to them, though I really don't understand what they say as I'm not a football follower. They just showed a glass of water that was frozen.... the wind chill is minus 23... we are warm!!!

So we are relaxing... after a day of working on organizing. I have new bookshelves for my Amazon sales and they really look good. B put them together THANK YOU and now they are all in order. I'm updating my data base and getting stuff in order... gotta keep busy!!! Anyway, I also cleaned some and did some laundry and we did go out for breakfast. A really nice day. And dinner is just about ready so I have to go up to check on it.

And soon... SUPER BOWL!!!!
