Superbowl XL

Well, I watched my second ever Superbowl this weekend. I guess in common with most major sporting events anywhere in the world, the whole day of pregame show, analysis and stuff was inevitable, if incredibly tedious, so I only actually watched the game itself. To be honest, I still think it is a 1 hour game that is two hours too long, but, saying that, I did quite enjoy the game yesterday, although I don't think I will ever be a regular viewer.

One of the biggest reasons for watching yesterday, apart from the tiny glimpse of the occasional cheerleader (damn you Janet Jackson), and of course seeing Mick and the boys with their zimmer frames and plush hound faces, was to see the commercials. Last year, there were some greats, very clever and very funny, but to be brutally honest, this year they just didn't cut it. There were a couple of funny ones; the Ameriquest "Guy In The Hospital" one and the Bud Light, "Streaker" one, both in the 1st Quarter; check them out here, but really that was about it. Additionally, some of my male readers, and who knows maybe even some of the ladies, will enjoy this new annual tradition, The Lingerie Bowl.

Anyway, now that the football is done with, and hockey only has a little while left..it's time to start thinking about my new favourite sporting activity. No, not golf, although with this mild weather, it won't be long before I am back on the course. No, I mean baseball. The new season tickets go on sale February 24th for the Cubs, and I will be their website at 10am sharp!

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

Image
I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
