Yesterday I enjoyed the Super Bowl at a party hosted by my dear friend Tammy and her fiance, Neal. They have a lovely new home which they’ve been in for about a month. It’s beautiful and they’ve done a great job furnishing and decorating (if I bought a house it’d be years before I finished unpacking), but I have to say I’m not sure anyone I went to high school with is old enough to buy a house. But Neal made some awesome wings, the game turned out as 52% of me hoped it would, and I had a great time. I also did a carbomb for the first time, but that’s not really all that relevant.
As far as the Super Bowl itself…I walked in just barely caring about the game. Almost everyone I know was rooting for the Seahawks, but I had no real attachment to either team. But since there are people I love who really do care about the Steelers, and they are, after all, from Pennsylvania, I figured I should root for them. When I got to Tam’s house, it turned out that her sister was the only person there who wanted the Steelers to win, so I also figured she could use some moral support. I probably wasn’t into enough to offer much of that, but I did get more into it as the game continued. I don’t love football, but I like it, and although a largely anti-climactic game, there were a couple of nice plays.
Speaking of nice plays, I’m currently posting from the computer lab of the library here at McDaniel, and it’s time to venture down into the stacks to get a copy of Shakespeare’s Henry IV. Woohoo.
The main purpose here was to say hi to Tammy and Neal. Hi Tammy and Neal.
