Today, February 6, is the date when a football game called the Super Bowl takes place. This year, it will be held in Arlington, Texas, which is near Dallas and Fort Worth. I am explaining this in such detail because over half of my daily blog visitors come from other countries (though I venture to say that many of them know about this game.)
What will I do today? ... well, I will be among the few in the U.S. who will not watch the game. I honestly don't care. I do not understand it, and do not wish to try to figure it out. Some watch the game to view new commercials, which are supposed to be funny. Certainly, if a company will spend US$1,000,000 or more on one 30-second (or shorter) commercial, then it should be about the best there is.
Anyway, I have many other things to do to occupy my time. Honestly, what will I do? I have to go to my aunt's apartment and meet some of her caregivers who are taking some of her furnishings. I will also stop by some senior pals' homes to collect info I need so I can prepare their income tax returns. Later, I will try to catch up on some of my work, which is interesting to me and I have a lot to do before going on additional trips related to it.
If you are among those who enjoy the game, I hope you have fun. If you drive to watch it at a friend's or family member's home, enjoy the camaraderie and the fun. Watch, however, the amount of alcohol you drink. Many law enforcement officers will be out looking for people driving under the influence. National stats show that "Super Bowl Sunday" results in a huge number of arrests for drunk driving. That is to prevent a worse outcome: having a collision in which you and other people may be injured or killed.
'Nuf of the gory stuff. Just have fun, and be safe!
Life is short: there is more to it than football.
