Defeat.

What is it about a fan and a team that builds this “impossible bond” that when that team is defeated there is a similar feeling of defeat in the fan?

I thought it would be no-contest today with Indy outplaying SanDiego. Sadly that wasn’t the case.

I missed last year’s Super Bowl because we were in Haiti. I had high-hopes that this year I could watch the Super Bowl Champions defend that title from the comfort of my couch.

Defeat is crummy…

Our visit to Hartford, Wisconsin’s “The Mineshaft” was enjoyable last night!

Most of us had the fish-fry. I ate 12-pieces of fried-fish goodness!

The “2-million dollar game room” wasn’t all that I had hoped it would be, sadly, but we did have a good time. Here Pastor Gerry & Wenda enjoy a Harley-ride.

Watching the Packers/Seahawks game right now, all I can think is, “I don’t remember ever seeing this much snow in an NFL game in my 28-years of watching!”

I’m cheering on the Pack – Favre deserves it! I don’t know another player who seems to enjoy the game as much as he does! He just threw a snowball!

How sweet is it that American Idol promo is using Robbie Seay’s “Rise” track for their commercials?!
