*Pitchers and catchers report for the Cubs on Feb. 14, for the Nationals on Feb. 16 and for the Orioles on Feb. 13. Baseball IS America's Pastime. I can't wait.*So I heard there was some kind of BIG football game on Sunday. Ohhhh, that's right. Super Bowl XLV. The Packers beat the Steelers. Whoop dee doo.
The bigger story was that about 400 people are going to sue the NFL because even though they had tickets to the game, they didn't get to see it from their seats. Some had to watch on TV. The NFL offered triple the cost of the ticket and free tickets to next year's game, but you can bet that won't be near enough for some people.
The even bigger story was that we bought a new 47-inch Vizio LED flatscreen. Can you say sweet? Costco has some good deals. And when Ed and I went to bed Sunday night, it was on our brand new Simmons fluff mattress. We'd been sleeping on a cheap IKEA mattress for about 5 years, and it was killing our backs.
Doing our part to keep the economy going. Yay!
*We went to the D.C. Auto Show on Friday. Fell in love with all the usual suspects, but the vehicle I really liked is pictured here. The Ford Connect. Kind of like a Honda Element, but different. Half car, half van. I think most people buy it for their businesses or as taxis, but I've seen a few people out & about who use it as their primary car. And with three dogs, it would be perfect for hauling them around. And just about every review of the Connect has been very good. Gotta keep an eye on that one.*Going to visit the family units in Little Rock on March 1. They are supposed to get 6 inches of snow tomorrow. They've already had more snow there than we've had this year. Effers. Just kidding. I know where I don't want to be right now -- at Cheryl's house in Des Moines. The current temperature there is -4. That's MINUS 4. Brrrrrrrrrrr.
