The Super Bowl

What a crazy game! From the first-ever-in-Super-Bowl-history-kickoff-runback-for-a-touchdown to the constant pouring rain to the final quarter, it was quite a game. We were rooting for the Colts, so we were very pleased with the outcome. We were all very disappointed in the commercials, though. I didn't think any of them were especially clever or memorable. Prince's ability to sing and dance in that weather was pretty amazing. All in all, a fun afternoon. The kids and their families were here, and we had many delicious foodstuffs, but the absence of YS weighed on us all. I don't know how families who had kids scattered across the country do it. We are such a close-knit family, and we do so many things all together, that when any part of the family is missing, it's sad. This will be a difficult 3 months, as YS will miss The Spouse's birthday on 2/22, daughter-in-law's birthday on 3/4, my birthday on 3/8, Grandson's birthday on 3/16, and son-in-law's birthday on 4/26, and birthdays around here are big deals. C'est la vie. Yay Colts! Congratulations, Peyton Manning, on being named MVP. Congratulations Tony Dungy, first African American coach to win the Super Bowl, and how cool that it's during Black History Month!
